Passports System Scam

Here's a quick little bit of real news regarding passports. As a law-abiding citizen do you feel that it is necessary for the government to hold biometric information about you? By this I mean DNA, retina scan and fingerprints, should they be entitled to hold this information about you? Currently it is only people who are convicted criminals that the government holds information on which is right in my view because if you do a crime and go to prison and get released only to offend again, I think the police should be able to catch you by using your DNA or whatever. What I don't agree with is the police getting all this data on you from birth, effectively classing you as a criminal from day one. This is just not on.

I disagree with the passport / ID Card fiasco going on at the moment, what with good old boy Tony Bliar (did I spell it wrong??) saying we wont be having ID cards, only for the government to roll out biometrics on our passports instead - how is this democratic? Anyway what is cool is that Silicon.com has quite rightly pointed out here is that if you renew your passport now you can stay off the radar and travel all over the planet until 2016!

Great, so rather than surrendering our freedoms and just submit to being classed as criminals (even when you are innocent and have never commited a crime in your life) simply renew your passport now, TODAY if possible so that you wont need to submit biometric information or take part in an interview (read: interrogation) by the home office.

I got a new passport in January so I am good for the next ten years. My wife's passport runs out this year so we are renewing it now and also getting one for my Son to keep him out of the Police State database for the first 11 years of his life at least (he's one already).

Renew today or be classed as a criminal come October 2006 and don't tell me I didn't warn you.
