Ouch.
If I can fault the industry on anything it would be that we don't have prominent spokespersons to stand up and bat these fears out of the park. It's always the same thing over and over again. You'd think by now there'd be a prepared, well-documented answer to rule out doubts, or at least minimize them if they are unavoidable. For now we are leaving it to the principals of the respective government departments to defend their reasons as to why they decided to give biometric technology such prominance. This is all fine and good considering it was their decision, therefore their responsibility, but they aren't the biometric experts. This is only one aspect of their job.
And this isn't just in the US either. The UK is in the same boat.
