"Hungry students at a school in Västerbotten in northern Sweden must give a fingerprint in order to eat in the schools cafeteria, a practice which bothers data privacy officials seeking to ban the measure.
At the Lilja school in Vännäs, students must give a fingerprint accompanied by a four-digit code in order to receive a plate and enter the school's cafeteria. The system helps the school prevent unauthorized people from eating in the canteen, and also helps officials plan food purchases and the monthly budget." --clip-- More at http://www.thelocal.se/15068/20081020/ Is the privacy mailing list gone forever, BTW?
