-Caveat Lector-
If there was ever a full-scale opportunity to database who we are, this has
to be it:
JotterSAF eases your security and privacy concerns through
biometric solutions. Use the unique characteristics of your
voice, fingerprints, iris, or face to authenticate you.

Imagine -- you use voiceprint identification and with one of those audio
spectrographs of your voiceprint is on record. Then when you ask for a
cherry ICEE at the corner 7-Eleven, if some black government op has some
need to know, he can pull up your entire history without even getting an ID
number or fingerprint from you. You didn't use a credit card, didn't show a
driver's license, didn't write a check. All you did was ask for an ICEE.
It's on record.
But yes, it would make life easier. I would love to chunk all my passwords
and simply use my fingerprint or iris scan or voiceprint to prove I am who I
say I am. Of course, with voice print ID, if our voiceprints are kept on
file someplace, then it only gives dark hackers a new way to rip us off.
Break into a database, download a voiceprint and use that voiceprint to
withdraw a few hundred dollars from an ATM.
I guess for every new technology there is a new can of worms. I know they
say it's bad to give up freedom for more security. I guess in this case
we're giving up security to get more freedom -- freedom from password lists,
etc...
I wonder if this is one step toward everybody implanted with a microchip.
For example, let's say we do have a problem with people "stealing" your
identity with voiceprint and probably even fingerprints before long. Or
we'll have rashes of crimes where people end up with their thumbs chopped
off so the robber can run around and steal money left and right until the
thumb rots and is no longer usable. What is the solution but to give people
a choice of going back to passwords (less secure) or get a unique chip
implanted for the ulimate security. perhaps the chip would be so small that
even if somebody wanted to cut it out of you, it would be nearly impossible
to find in the mass of tissue and blood, especially if one can pick where
they want it implanted.
People seem to have a hard time reverting back to the old days, so probably
most people will go with the implant, I imagine.
