The 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.

- dathinab 2y agobiometrics 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).
