"The FBI is embarking on a $1 billion effort to build the world's largest 
computer database of peoples' physical characteristics, a project that would 
give the government unprecedented abilities to identify individuals in the 
United States and abroad.

(...) In the coming years, law enforcement authorities around the world will 
be able to rely on iris patterns, face-shape data, scars and perhaps even 
the unique ways people walk and talk, to solve crimes and identify criminals 
and terrorists. The FBI will also retain, upon request by employers, the 
fingerprints of employees who have undergone criminal background checks so 
the employers can be notified if employees have brushes with the law."

Hello Big Brother...
