<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Blaubart, post: 1634018, member: 37498&quot;]What I don&#039;t see in the story is who is responsible for maintaining these records and who has access to them.&nbsp; I&#039;m sure if the store owners maintain them, the police would have unrestricted access to them, so you might as well just have the police maintain them.&nbsp; But what an unwieldly pile of records that would quickly become.&nbsp; Might as well scan them all and store them digitally.&nbsp; What better way to store fingerprints than in a fingerprint database.&nbsp; If these people have nothing to hide, then they have nothing to worry about.&nbsp; Right?</p><p><br /></p><p>Not that there are really very many people whose fingerprints aren&#039;t in a database somewhere.</p><p><br /></p><p>Mine are on file from being in the military, from applying for a federal job, from purchasing silencers, and now from applying for a concealed carry permit.&nbsp; I just heard from a colleague of mine that they are starting to fingerprint all college students that work for AmeriCorps.&nbsp; As if doing trail work is a threat to national security.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think it will be long before fingerprints will be required for attending public schools and obtaining a drivers&#039; license.&nbsp; (Neither of which are basic human rights guaranteed by the Bill of Rights, like being able to carry a firearm for self defense is.&nbsp; Oh, wait...)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
