A model presents a new wireless biometric access system at the Columbus Monaco hotel in Monaco, Wednesday, Dec. 7, 2005.



The hotel is equipped with a fingerprint authentication system which eliminates the need for room keys. On arrival, guests will be invited to place their fingertips on a fingerprint scanner. They can also pay bar and restaurant bills in this way. (AP Photo/Lionel Cironneau)

*sigh*

look igotthisguitar- if "they" wanted your fingerprints so badly, they could always take them off your room key when you left anyway. We don't all wear cotton gloves and tinfoil hats.

Freedom assumes choice Jimmy. In cases like these you seem keen to throw caution to the wind ... i'm not.

Less the matrix the better.

I'll fight to keep my fingerprints, DNA sample etc etc off of Big Brother's creepy corporate mafia database, while the sheeple happily submit.
