More scary shit

And number 2
You have the right to food money
Providing of course you
Dont mind a little
Investigation...
Humiliation...
And if you cross your fingers...
Rehabilitation!

Know your rights
These are your rights

The Clash

From the Boston Globe

Taunton schools this spring could become the first in Massachusetts to have students pay for lunch by scanning their fingerprints, a plan that is triggering an uproar among parents and ACLU officials worried about privacy and possible identity theft.

No shit (or know shit), it's causing an uproar. But it's only a matter of time when some jerk-off thinks this is a good idea before it's implemented. And once your data's in the system , then it's easily accessible by other government agencies.
THEY've ID'd you before you even get a chance to run.

Malvern, Pa.-based identiMetrics, a leading vendor, said hundreds of schools nationwide use its system, including nearly a third of the school districts in West Virginia and a private enrichment center for children in Wellesley. (More...)

And Wellesley...that fucking fru-fru, uppity, ineffectual...Ah!...don't get me started. They've even banned out-of-towners from picking through their dump. What the fuck is a private enrichment center. That's one spooky sounding program It reminds me of Pangbourne Village in Ballard's Running Wild.

Why not photo ID cards, with unique ID numbers?

OK...back to my meditations.
