announced on a holiday, of course.
Setting aside what a horrible idea this is, doesn't the US already have something similar? I don't know whether this is a known fact among Americans, but when non-US citizens (like myself) enter the US they not only have to give a whole bunch of personal information for the ESTA application but also need to give all 10 fingerprints and have a picture taken when arriving at the airport. Oh, and this: Only thing's "missing" is height and parents' place of birth. I wouldn't be surprised if the NSA has the rest of the data already on at least a few million French citizens.
You are not a citizen of the USA. Fuck yeah we'll collect the shit out of data on you because everything foreign is the CIA and State Dept, which is so unleashed it has a fucking drone air force. Everything internal is FBI and DHS, which is nicely hobbled by interdisciplinary squabbles, turf wars and other inefficiencies. I'm going to interview for my Nexus pass in about a month. Since I'm American, it involves fingerprints and a couple interviews. Were I Canadian, it would involve a fuckn' iris scan.
