More biometrics to come in Britain and all over EU, including children

07.11.2006 12:16

The british state is currently building 69 'interrogation' centres for passport applications and for everyone else if they success in imposing compulsory ID cards and the national identity register. These centres will do the questionning, fingerprinting and eyescanning. Defy-ID and No2ID organisations are opposing this development:  http://www.no2id.net/getInvolved/idCentres.php

Note also that fingerprinting of children is being planned across the EU passports for residence permits and visas. See,
GET 'EM WHILE THEY'RE YOUNG: fingerprinting of children on the rise

See also: Kiddiprinters! EU biometric ID plans reach out for the children,

More action will be needed. Come to the Defy-ID national gathering!
