Naperville to use fingerprints for net access. This is just ridiculous and a bad precedent. They claim that once a fingerprint is taken it cannot be extracted from the machine, so it must be doing some very simple checks and discarding that data, but I certainly do not want to get in the habit of handing out my fingerprints for something as trivial as net access all in the name of library security. This brought to you mostly by the biometrics industry and the patriot act. Now there's two tastes that do not go great together. See also: Economist article on biometrics.
