>STOP BIOMETRIC DRIVER'S LICENSES!
>SB 5412 requires a "biometric identifier" for applicants for
>driver's licenses. This would require fingerprinting at a
>minimum and possibly a second identifier (e.g., a retinal scan).
>
>The ACLU believes this proposed collection of personal data is
>unnecessary. It is entirely unrelated to the purpose of a
>driver's license - ensuring safety on the roads - and has the
>potential to be misused for unrelated purposes. Biometric
>technology has known errors that will subject thousands of
>innocent people each year to unwarranted suspicion of criminal
>activity (such as trying fraudulently to obtain a driver's
>license). When the data is used for other purposes, the
>consequences of errors are further magnified.
>
>You can take action today to stop this bill from moving any
>further by contacting your state legislator today.
>
>Go to http://ga1.org/ct to send a letter to your
>state legislators on this important issue.
