They are. They are stored on the card itself, and they are NOT stored in government databases. This is a good thing...
- Roark66 4y agoYes, you're right, they are stored on the card itself and nowhere else so in theory it allows authenticating the person to the document via a fingerprint. I didn't know that. Still I think having them there doesn't provide suffiecient extra value to offset having to go to the gov office twice. Also, using fingerprints to routinely authenticate people presents a whole new lot of problems. No one voted for a party that proposed such idea.EU simply decided to mandate this and it has to be implemented no questions asked. What about people that have trouble using the fingerprint scanners govs use? I used to play base guitar when I was a teenager. I can't wait to find out how well/bad this tech will work with the thick skin on my fingers.
- mtrycz2 4y agoI mean, do people really want their government to store their biometrics? What could ever go wrong with that?
