Step One: Surrender All Privacy. Step Two: Cut Lines at Airports
- Image via Wikipedia
I am slightly terrified by a recent post in SAI, in which the writer brags about how his new Clear Card allowed him to speed past security at JFK.
Last Saturday, I flew from Jacksonville, FL, to JFK, and I would never have made my flight without the Clear Card. The regular security long was long, but I was ushered to a special line along with military personnel (there are many in Jacksonville) with no wait whatsoever. The attendant slid my card and checked my boarding pass, I presented my retina to the eyeball-scanning machine, and off I went.
Yup. All it took for this guy to give a notoriously loose government agency a slew of personal information and put his retina scan on permanent record was a speedy passage through the airport.
Imagine how little it is going to take for most Americans to simply surrender what little annonymity they have left in the name of convenience.
