If people are law abiding citizens with no prior record, why should our tax money pay the goverment to take our fingerprint/dna information and keep it on file?
The U.S. goverment has my fingerprints and dna because I am ex-military, but for the life of me I don't know why they need it. In case I commit a crime later or die in a catatrophe that complicates identification? If the goverment played it safe and locked me up in a rubber room, they could prevent both from happening.
Of course giving fingerprints and dna doesn't really hurt me, but like banning guns, it is a very important symbol of the kind of government I live under and represents the kind of control and oppression that Communists imposed on every country they seized. Beyond the elements needed to ensure civil rights, fair trade, and national security from foreign threats, I believe less goverment is always better.
Of course Big Brother just wants to make sure we are living happy, healthy, productive lives. Everything our government does is soley for our benefit. They would never have an agenda which superceded our best interest or infringed upon our rights, privacy, or dignity.
