FBI wants palm prints, eye scans, tattoo mapping

They also want to know if there are ring around URANUS

CLARKSBURG, West Virginia (CNN) -- The FBI is gearing up to create a massive computer database of people's physical characteristics, all part of an effort the bureau says to better identify criminals and terrorists.

But it's an issue that raises major privacy concerns -- what one civil liberties expert says should concern all Americans.

The bureau is expected to announce in coming days the awarding of a $1 billion, 10-year contract to help create the database that will compile an array of biometric information -- from palm prints to eye scans.

Kimberly Del Greco, the FBI's Biometric Services section chief, said adding to the database is "important to protect the borders to keep the terrorists out, protect our citizens, our neighbors, our children so they can have good jobs, and have a safe country to live in."

What, The Dems are not concerned?
maybe they finally figured it out.

I would be pleased if we could simply ensure one person one vote.

I'm concerned but you have to remember that destroying civil liberties is a hallmark of the neocon, wacko Republicans such as GWB and his band of criminals. You want civil liberties, I suggest you vote for a Democrat. You want a criminal family in charge with no regard to your rights, for more of the same vote for a Republican.

wrong, if Clinton had done his job and killed OSAMA the world might not be going through this hell.

Well, that has been GWB's job for the last 7 years. It hasn't been Clinton's job for the last seven years. So, when is this piece of crap, lameduck, socially defunt Republican President going to kill Osama?

Just curious. You can take your time to answer this one.

This, is what 9/11 brought us, justification to track our own population to that extent.

Connect the dots...

Yeah right... sure lady sure. What other line of bull do you have to sell ?

Unfortunately I'm stuck having to live in the same world with these imbeciles.,

[W4INF]

We cant keep the Mexicans out, much less the terrorist. So, scanning my retina will do what now? I mean, besides putting me on your hard drive Mr. FBI, how will that keep crack dealers out of my city? I'm at a loss for words.

[W4INF]

The DEA (of all people) refer to the FBI as Fumbling Bumbling Idiots. Just FYI. Its not just the citizens that lost faith.

[W1GUH]

Be afraid.....be very afraid.

[KG4CGC]

And in the end, it will all prove to be useless.
When will we learn?

[ae4fa]

All smoke and mirrors designed to make people feel safe.

In actuality, it is gross inefficiency piled upon other layers of gross
inefficiency.

The FBI has learned from experience, like most government agencies, that the largest amounts of funding can be obtained only by projects with easily defined goals and results that sound magnificent, but are really miniscule in the grand scheme of things.

It's an alternative to actually doing real work.

Is it painful to be that blindly narrow-minded and disconnected from reality?

The NEW NEOCON Battle Cry. :eek:

Without Clinton, the Neocons have no soul. Ditto for OxyRushbo.

I was under the impression that political discussions were to take place elsewhere. The Punisher isn't going to be pleased, and is likely to start his crying and whining again. Way to go Greg.

I wonder Greg, do you suppose that maybe if lord Bush’s daddy had done his job all that long ago the whole mess would never have happened?

After all Osama took a whack at pa first ya’know.

[K2WH]

This is a wonderful development and a very useful tool to defend this country. Anytime the FBI wants information from me, they can come and get it or better yet, I'll go to DC. Don't you just love technology.

BTW, GWB is not running for President nor is Clinton. Oh wait, Clinton IS running again isn't he... I mean she. Sorry I forgot, this is so confusing.

You people need a beano break.

Whats the matter ,DumDum? Cant come up with an answer that actually requires brain functionality? Sit down and shut up!

[kg4kww]

No name calling W5lda. If you continue down that road you could get banned.

Today your palms and eyes tomorrow your,,, I don't want to think about it.

[KC5CSG]

I'll be more than willing to send the FBI a stool sample in a zip loc baggie. Hopefully they'll taste test it.

Funny, I've never seen any of those on their wanted posters. :D

I concur with the undertaker's assumption that several posters on this thread are full of highly compressed methane, no doubt due to the rot of their cerebral matter.

Whatever you do, don't light a match.

[KA9VQF]

Today your palms and eyes tomorrow your,,, I don't want to think about it.

Gosh Greg, how can you be such a staunch follower of lord Bush and the republican neocon’s and not whole heartedly support this?

It is only part of the PNAC agenda.

[k4kyv]

The FBI says it will protect all this personal data and only collect information on criminals and those seeking sensitive jobs.

The ACLU's Steinhardt doesn't believe it will stop there.

And nobody has made the standard proclamation "You have nothing to fear if you have done nothing wrong" yet?

[kg4kww]

Will you sit on a scaner for them if you are required to?
