Millions of British airline passengers face mandatory fingerprinting before being allowed to board flights when Heathrow’s Terminal 5 opens later this month.Cool--I can't wait for that here. Because it will help make us feel safe and stop terrorists! Plus it will condition us to accept even more terms and conditions, demands and requirements, hoops and intrusions,to help keep us free.
I have no doubt that if some egghead working for a "public/private partnership" contractor demonstrated that individual colo-rectal patterns provided positive identification, there'd be no shortage of passengers lining up for their probes so they could get on a bus and go to work to pay their taxes.
