[Heaven] Microchips, National Biometric ID, And Personal Privacy

Microchips,
National Biometric ID, And Personal Privacy
With the stated intent of combating illegal
immigration, Senators Chuck Schumer (D.,
N.Y.) and Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.) are
crafting new legislation to institute a
national identification card. The card would
be required in order to be eligible for
employment, and would in turn enable
employers to identify and reject illegal
immigrants who are seeking work. The card
would be biometric, i.e., containing
identifying characteristics unique to the
physiology of the cardholder. In this case
the biometrics would most likely be
comprised of either a fingerprint or a scan
of the veins on the back of the hand. This
is not the first time a biometric card has
been proposed: in the wake of 9-11, there
was a strong push for a national ID card on
the basis of national security. Schumer and
Graham claim that the institution of a
national ID would not be accompanied by the
creation of a complementary database;
however, no national identification system
has ever operated independently of a
database. It would be impossible to run a
national ID system without a corresponding
database available for purposes of
verification.
