miladus writes "The Frankfurter
Allgemeine Zeitung has a good overview of some of the concerns
surrounding the introduction of biometric features into German and EU
passports. Especially alarming are the rules for storing and re-using
or re-distributing biometric data: "To begin with, there is no security against theft.
Face scans and fingerprints, both of which are included in Schily's
draft legislation, can be collected and stored in central databases and
then used for other purposes, for example to track people's activities
and do police work.""
