How things are progressing here in the UK:


"Hiring a car can now mean leaving a fingerprint. And check-out staff  
are scanning the customers as well as the shopping. Biometrics are  
entering every day life.

Getting your fingerprints taken would once have meant only one thing.  
You were helping the police with their inquiries. Now such  
"biometric" identification is entering the mainstream of every day life.

If you want to hire a car at Stansted Airport, you now need to give a  
fingerprint."
