some borrowings co-ordinate, balance, and undergo. Others incidentally bury

fanatical personal data collection.

We are losing it piece by piece.

Who would have thought the United States would
collect fingerprints from all citizens?

Collect biometric information from everyone...
law enforcement's Evil Holy Grail.

* "U.S. Has Plan to Broaden Availability tests of DNA Testing"
* By Fox Butterfield, The New York Times, undated but 1996 implied.
*
* In a little known provision of the Clinton Administration's 1994 Crime
* Control Act was a call for the establishment of a nationwide DNA data
* bank like the current national system for fingerprints, run by the FBI.
*
* In the two years since then, 42 states have passed laws requiring prison
* inmates give blood or saliva samples for a "DNA fingerprint."
*
* In a report today, the Justice Department said it is stepping up efforts
* to make such DNA biometric capture "as common as fingerprinting" and that
* they expect the test in five years to go from $700 each to a mere $10 and
* take only hours or minutes to accomplish.

Something odd is going on; apparently the government is building L.U.C.I.D.
