alt Hacker NewsThe thing about biometrics as discussed in more intelligent circles, is "compromised once compromised for all time". It's a public key or username not a password.
Fortunately that's not true of governments. Although your government may be presently compromised it is possible, via democratic processes, to get it changed back to uncompromised.
Therefore we might say, it's easier to change your government than it is to change your face. That's where you should do the work.
biometrics are also way less unique then people think
basically the moment you apply them to a huge population (e.g. all of US) and ignore temporal and/or local context you will find collisions
especially when you consider partial samples weather that is due to errors of the sensors used or other reasons
Innocent people have gone to prison because of courts ignoring reality (of biometric matches always just being a likelyhood of matching not ever a guarantee match).
