An incremental step requires an increment. Nothing gets incremented here. The French government already had this data, and already used it to biometrically identify people. The only thing this inches toward is to a reduction in the number of public functionaries. This is the automated checkout system for State services, nothing more.

Anyone can shoot any idea down by reducing it to a simple, innocuous sounding concept to make the other look ridiculous. Claiming "there's nothing here" is wrong, saying "I recognize the potential for bad, but choose to accept that risk" is a different story.

Just as anyone can argue that any change to process is salami slicing even when nothing of any real value is being incremented. I do understand your concern and I think healthy skepticism is a good thing. I’m just not convinced your so arguments are consistent with the facts being presented.
