"The UK Foreign Office is issuing facial recognition biometric passports in the US, and iris scanning pilot schemes are underway at Heathrow Airport. With the ID cards scheme moving ahead, and Chancellor of the Exchequer Gordon Brown backing the use of biometrics, it seems that finger, face and iris scanners will be soon become an everyday part of our society. But are biometrics the answer to identity theft and terrorism, as the government claims, or do they bring problems of their own?"
