It could be okay, maybe, until your digital credit (money) is linked to your palm print (easier & safer than carrying a wallet); your palm print is used for a new smart gun, which is inoperable without the print, and records every usage with the print; and until doors will not open for you (literally and figuratively), without the scan.  It is always the unintended consequences.............bobford
