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
