SCHOOL FINGERPRINTS ELEMENTARY STUDENTS FOR LUNCH PROGRAM

The southern Indiana school district is one of the latest to deploy technology which “biometric identification to match a finger scan with a personal identification number,” WAVE reports.

New Albany Floyd County School officials refused to go on camera to demonstrate the technology but said they give all parents the option to opt out of the finger scan. The school system sent information home on the system with a form to opt out of the scanning.

And to think people are allowing this to happen.

This biometric info database can be easily hacked. Imagine your little girl's identity being stolen while she's still playing with dolls.

Putting biometric and DNA info into databases is a MAJOR risk.

This is great for use by Law Enforcement, when the school is damaged or something is stolen, they got prints to use against those of the suspects! Little darlings are going to go to jail!

All kids need to be fingerprinted, it would make is so much easier to identify their body if found murdered, and also for convicting little thieves, and criminals.

Most of them have their prints on file on their iPhones.

Law enforcement is why they do this. When the kiddies get old enough to become thugs won't take long for arrest.
