Barry M Obama wants fingerprint registry |

Posted by Orange Blossom Special on Wed Jun 11 18:10:51 2008 authored a bill (with 11 co-sponsors, including Sen. Barack Obama) that was incorporated into a housing bill passed by the Senate Banking Committee 19-2 before the Memorial Day recess — a bill that creates a national fingerprint registry.One of the standards, John Berlau of the Competitive Enterprise Institute says, may “require thousands of individuals working even tangentially in the mortgage and real estate industries — and not suspected of anything — to send their prints to the feds.” This is a step in the wrong direction — at least for a nation that preserves freedom. |

Had no problem with requiring people going to court for parking tickets having to submit DNA samples but now that the sacred bankers might have to do less, big problem now. If you go to get a job at Radio Shack at the counter, you have to pass a polygraph exam, AND submit fingerprints, DNA sample and a piss test. About TIME those who handle REAL money are subjected to the same standard as the minimimum wage retail slave! |

Did you look at Senator Martinez' web page? Here's the list of what S-2595 is supposed to create:Now how come this is good and other similar things that GOP politicians have done is bad? |

That thing caused an uproar. |

Go apply for a job at a Radio Shack and follow through on it up until the first day on the job ... see what you gotta do, then get back to me. |

It's been done for over six years now and nobody cared. If those are the common requirements for a chit job in retail, then they should certainly be applied to people who handle REAL money ... |

They're trying to establish a federal license similar to the one that they already have for many in the financial sector - like stockbrokers. This sounds like nearly the same requirements that they have. I don't think that they're re-inventing the wheel here and that's why it has such broad support in both parties. |

Radio Shack handled some "dangerous" things back in the day. I'd read about the electronics you could make with the stuff they sell. In another decade that was.Since getting free phone calls on a payphone is a stiffer crime than terrorism and junk. |

Nah, it was about the cash register and refunds. :(Besides ... they never had any EG&G Thyratrons or nuclear triggers in stock, so all of us hobbyists had to go to Digi-Key and Mouser instead. :) |
