Which lead us to the biggest problem in big brother society... it's not the systematic spying/registration/databasing of stuff...

It's the idiots that screwup data input... with said rotten data becoming god's speech when inside the computer... that as we know now... can't do no wrong... (well aside for toyota pedal stuff, nasa things doing their math in imperial instead of metric or quite a lot of direct or indirect computer based moronry...)

Problem is you got the Japanese following the lead of the FBI on DNA profile databases. Input errors, collection errors, statistical errors....major statistical errors, independence of the loci tested, the mistaken belief that no two unrelated individuals can match on standard tests, etc., make the databases worthless.

it's phrenology all over again...

But the database system integrators are usually making good money out of the scam...

As we say in consulting, "it's not because you're not part of the solution that money can't be made out of the problem"

If they messed up with DNA, they can mess up with our fingerprints too. We all leave them in Narita. One day they will knock your door and say: You did it! Since now it is mandatory to have an alibi for any second of your life. How? Your choice: lunch with boss, bang your gf, hang out with gaijin friends, etc.... Just do not be alone. Never.
