In my opinion, biometrics won't yield much more data about the average citizen than what is currently available in the wild. The lack of personal information privacy in Argentina is astonishing. Having lived in other countries, I find it really scary that every retail store asks you for your DNI number the first time you make a purchase, and that public databases exist in the web with your address, phone number, date of birth, upper billing limit (with the CUIT number), etc. What's also funny, a lot of software here use the DNI number as the primary key for their associates / customer / people tables. Any other country would find this unnacceptable.
