#2 PakiWaki Daily Zoom:
"suggesting that Britain is effectively trying to close its borders to foreigners"

Um, no. It means, not suggests, that Britain is trying to keep track of you sneaky little fucks while inside their soveriegn nation. I hope it's very effective.

#3 Let's see here. With each terrorist suspect typically caught possessing multiple passports in the name of Abu Mohammed Haj al Kobayashi Maru or several variations thereof, biometric identification represents:

2.) A brilliant method to isolate users of false indentification.

#5 Does it have a religion column?

Years ago I would have argued vehemently against such a notion. Islam's toll upon my personal philosophy cannot be exemplified any better than by how much I now support such an idea. I'd weep if I didn't know that my very life depended upon such a measure.

#6 I'm really surprised they weren't doing that already in the UK. My sweetie has to update his biometrics every year to stay legally in the US. That includes his fingerprints....I guess they think they're going to change or something.... :P
