Would be a bit of a worry prior to collecting the biometric data. How do they know that the person hasn't already been registered under a different name considering the number of identification frauds carried out.
@Manah2 - Just to provide some clarity how using biometric information makes it easy to identify duplicates. Remember in the article they say that they "de-duplicated" about 190 million records. Fingerprints & retina are like DNA, they are unique to ONLY ONE PERSON. No matter how many names you register with, you only have ONE set of fingerprints/retinal identity. So eliminating the same person registering more than once becomes an easy task.

Pretty scary the amount of privacy and freedom people give away in the name of "security."
Let's turn the clock back 70 years ago. Sounds like a modern version of Nazi Germany. How is the data stored and accessed? RFID? We know how secure that has proven to be. Not!!!!
