Security Watch: Give public biometrics the finger - CNET reviews

CNET: Give Biometrics the Finger

I first encountered biometrics three years ago when goons at the entry gates to Walt Disney World demanded that my family members put their fingers in scanners. I politely. well semi-politely told them no, and they semi-politely relented. I'm told that they are not as nice these days. They say that they are just checking the relationship between your fingers as ID, but they could be taking your fingerprints and matching them with your personal data, and you'd have no way of knowing. You'd also have no way of limiting the distribution of this data.
