I agree with most of your points, but why do you think "finger print collection of non-felons" is a problem? There are well-documented examples of that database being used to catch bad guys, and I have not heard of any abuses of that database. So I would think this is one example where a small privacy incursion is offset by a proven gain in security.
I would go as far as saying that collection of fingerprints and DNA profiles should be expanded. I have enough trust in Dutch democracy to change it back again if it turns out not to improve security after all. (As someone who has lived in other countries, I would not say the same of any democracy).
