Maybe it should be made so where you put your finger it also measures your pulse, and the iris scan is altering the amount of light to see if your iris is getting bigger/smaller. This way they can make sure it is a live finger and a live eye  |

| My passport expires in August, will I still get the old style passport if I renew in June? Also from where do we get the new identity card? Mine is about ten years old and I heard that the new ones can be used for travel within Europe. |

| i am sorry i missed the youtube video. it has since been removed. but i do agree with andri_cy, not everything is a conspiracy. this seems a little harder to steal an identity if you have a fingerprint. and who would want your idenity anyway? not that it doesn't happen, but there are 17 billion gazzilion people in the world, don't you think it just a bit concieted to live your life thinking someone is out to steal YOUR identity? |
