U.K. to incorporate new biometric standards

The United Kingdom plans to use newly published international standards on biometric technology for its identity cards.
The BS ISO/IEC 19794 series of standards cover the science of using "biological properties" to identify individuals, such as fingerprints, iris scans and facial recognition.

Some of these standards will be used for recording biometric data on U.K. passports--and on UK ID cards if the government's proposals are approved, the BSI standards organization said.

1. Chips, we need chips

I think implanted chips must be coming soon. Bar codes even. Arm bands. Here and across the pond.

To keep us safe.

Papers please.

But now even papers won't be good enough.
