LTKA - Campaigning against the fingerprinting of UK schoolchildren.

Across the board fingerprinting of adults is slated for the rollout of the national ID card and its associated datbase. No-one seems to care about that. Talk about letting schools fingerprint kids and the shit really hits the fan. Add this to the portable fingerprint scanners being given to the police and you soon won’t be able to go anywhere or do anything without having to provide you fingerprint. you will be tracked, numbered, catalogued and spied upon from the day you start school. How long befor they fingerprint you at birth?

Totalitarianism looms large and no-one seems to care, the british public is sleepwaliking towards disaster and not one MP (who are meant to be our representatives) is kicking up a fuss.

  1. LTKA - The latest from the blogosphere (against schools fingerprinting our children) on November 3rd, 2007 2:01 pm

    Kramer auto Pingback[...] Keith Nelson (06-04-2007)   For the latest blogs discussing school fingerprinting, we recommend Technorati’s blog search.   Read the ‘Technorati blog links’ in full-screen mode     (press ‘back’ on your browser to return to ltka)   “There are basically three types of people who support these schemes: useful idiots, those who hope to profit from them, and those who seek greater control over people. If you have to give your fingerprint or iris scan to cash a check, you may have little choice but to give up that information. If that biometric data can be used to access your other personal data such as credit status or religious or political affiliation or similar, then those who run the machines control your life. And, they may be starting with children with the intent of raising a generation used to lack of privacy.” read more from this blog   More Blogs, etc    [...]

    There are very few private companies that offer this, I happen to have one of them. The cost doesn’t have to be high - the price may be in later years though.

    So, you’re quite willing to feed on the paranoia and fear that is being bandied about by the bureacrats and politicians in oreder to line your pockets? I’ve had a look at your website, reasonable stuff for the most part. I’m willing to accept that corporate entities have every right to require fingerprints and other biometric data from their employees. If the employee in question doesn’t like it then they can get a job with someone else. What I find quite sickening though is your ‘Child Identification Kit’. Pandering to media hype and the fears that parents have based on that hype is irresponsible and in my opinion highly unethical.

    It would be more ethical if you were making a profit from it but you want to offer this service fro free through the use of grants and subsidies (which the current government will be only too happy to give you, if they can have acces to the collected data). This means that I will be paying for it as will many other taxpayers who do not agree with these kits or anything like them being implemented.

    The solution to the problems (overblown as they are) of child abduction, peadophilia, and the other ‘hazards’ of childhood are not in cards, databases and technological surveillance but in actually rebuilding communities, getting to know your neighbours and actually interacting with the other human beings who live in the same space as you. Instead we are encouraged to view every new person as a threat, every difference with suspicion and every high profile case as a sign of an epidemic when nothgin could be further from the truth.

    I would request that you cease and desist with you planned Child Identification Kits if I though there was any chance that you would listen. You’re preying on unfounded fears, exaggerated perceptions of risk and a culture of paranoia which is the real reason our society is falling apart. You are not part of the solution and are simply a parasite, feeding on the fear of others. Please stop.
