A little less talk and a lot more action

Sure there have been some passive efforts to curb privacy abuse concerns when it comes to collecting biometric information. Promises made, articles breaking down mythes and the logistics of it.

But now we have the possibility of a law drafted in January that could begin the forward motion of many other initiatives to combat and dismiss the chances of privacy abuse or feature creap. This would open up doors for the technology, letting it be a viable consideration for environments that may not have wanted to deal with the issue of convincing users that the government wouldn't just come along and snatch up information to be used against them in something completely irrelevant to its orginal purpose.

It's definitely worth keeping an eye on.
