Children of 11 to be fingerprinted -News-UK-TimesOnline (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article1466943.ece)

CHILDREN aged 11 to 16 are to have their fingerprints taken and stored on a secret database, internal Whitehall documents reveal.

The leaked Home Office plans show that the mass fingerprinting will start in 2010, with a batch of 295,000 youngsters who apply for passports.

The Home Office expects 545,000 children aged 11 and over to have their prints taken in 2011, with the figure settling at an annual 495,000 from 2014. Their fingerprints will be held on a database also used by the Immigration and Nationality Directorate to store the fingerprints of hundreds of thousands of asylum seekers.

The plans are outlined in a series of “restricted” documents circulating among officials in the Identity and Passport Service. They form part of the programme for the introduction of new biometric passports and ID cards.

We seem to have little assholes who hold a public office, who maintain the idea that their bosses, the citizens who hire them and supply their pay, are supposed to wind up under their thumbs for the use of the state. May those types of public servants quickly die, or become extinct.

Guess I had better get my daughter's passport now...it'll be good until she's a high school graduate.

Yeah, we have plenty of idiots here always trying to get us to adopt the "European model". I didn't realize you were referring to them. Sorry.

[Wolfcounsel]

No problem, Rhino. I think I wrote on coffee overload.
