(May 23, 2008) A Senate bill proposing to bailout the home mortgage crisis included a plan to create a national fingerprint registry for U.S. citizens. (Housing bailout bill creates national fingerprint registry) It seems this was going to be done under the radar according to the article, “What’s a little odd is the lack of public discussion about this new fingerprint database. No mention of it appears in the official summary of the revised Senate bill. No fingerprint database requirement is in the House version of the legislation approved earlier this month. No copy of the revised Senate legislation is posted on the Library of Congress’ Thomas Web site, which would be the usual procedure.” The purpose is to regulate those persons who handle housing loans. What’s interesting is that earlier this year Britain debated whether or not to do away with their national fingerprint registry because of the costs involved. (U.K. May Axe National Fingerprint Registry) They have already stopped using iris scans for the same reason. This article states “If fingerprinting everyone is scrapped, it won’t be the first casualty of the government’s search for better identity verification methods.” It’s the last phrase of this statement that captures one’s attention. The search by governments for a better identity verification method may one day lead to the infamous mark of the beast.
