'CLARKSBURG, West Virginia (CNN) -- The FBI is gearing up to create a massive computer database of people's physical characteristics, all part of an effort the bureau says to better identify criminals and terrorists.

'...The FBI already has 55 million sets of fingerprints on file. In coming years, the bureau wants to compare palm prints, scars and tattoos, iris eye patterns, and facial shapes. The idea is to combine various pieces of biometric information to positively identify a potential suspect.'

Remember, you have nothing to worry about, if you've done nothing wrong.

So... Yeah.

Have you ever seen the 1982 film called "Missing"?

[wolven.livejournal.com]

No, I don't think I have, but the title sounds familiar.

You should see it. Sometimes it feels like our government is positioning itself to confront its own citizens the same way that it confronted the Chileans in that movie.

Huh. I'll check it out.

Oh, I've been meaning to tell you this joke, but I keep forgetting.

Once, someone tried to ascribe religious / philosophical labels to major comic book villains. Unfortunately, there was one problem.

"Why is Lex Luthor listed as a nietzschean atheist?! He's the last person who wants the coming of the superman!"
