[biometrics] n … o … spells no, nein, non, nyet!

TUC speech: The sophistication of document forgery means we can only be confident of people's identities if we have their biometrics: their fingerprints, irises and digital measures of their face. By April 2008 … fingerprints taken … biometrics to get through border control. By April 2009 work or study … biometric identity cards. The first ID cards will be issued by 2009. Note that – tacked onto the end? You truly think it’s just the migrants? You really believe this? All people, not just migrants, are to become Tuttles and Buttles in their boxes and we’ll be in Terry Gilliam’s Brazil before 2012.
