So the nice people over at the Washington post are reporting that the FBI would like to create what amounts to the worlds largest biometric database. I say lets do it; and while we are at it lets start entering homes and searching them without warrants.. wait.. never mind the police can already do that. Well as people that know me will tell you that I am not a big fan of personal privacy and doing away with things like the right to a speedy trial, the ability to move about without having to present papers has been long over due. I think that the government having everyones eyes, fingerprints, and face on record will really help fight the evil terrorists and weapons of mass destruction; I am sure that the FBI would never abuse power.

From Wikipedia:

According to documents declassified in 2007^[9], Hoover maintained a list of 12,000 Americans suspected of disloyalty with the intention of detaining them and to do so by suspending the writ of habeus corpus. Hoover submitted his plan to President Harry Truman at the outbreak of the Korean War, but there is no evidence that Truman accepted the plan.

I for one welcome our new identity overlords.
