Thank you for the update Eugen. I will be tracking what becomes of us here in the USA. Right now street level biometric scanning, and multiple database interconnection, are becoming more widespread. I am already wondering what will become of us all when, (IF..) "legitimate" street CCTV databases, consumer & gov black project databases become cross linked with national, international biometric scan databases. I love computers in my own small way, but they are giving potential unprecedented power to the "few" to monitor in real time, and potentially control, the many. <br> Algenon<br><br><b><i>Eugen Leitl <eugen@leitl.org></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16,
