Will Biometric technology help to beat terrorists, or is that a false argument ? Think about it:
If biometric technology aims to prevent multiple passports from being issued to the same person under different identities, spies would be history. And that's impossible, so there would of course be sophisticated solutions for secret agents to get around that "bullet-proof" system.
Hence, sophisticated solutions can be bought for money, which "terrorist-organisations" don't seem to lack.
The terrorist threat is continously being used as a reason to introduce Biometric technology combined with Stalinian/Hitlerian data bases on citizens (see article " What data will ID cards store?" http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/4630045.stm ), but if Biometric technology will not help beat terrorists;
What is the REAL reason the government wants Biometric technology ?
