Ugh, how is it voluntarily provided if its mandatory for everyone over the age of 14?
DNA and voice is voluntary at least for now, but they will do a mandatory iris scan. Doesn't make it any better in my books. The fact that the government even wants this much biometric data is ridiculous.
I want to know what others government collect (both Europe and Asia)
And is the iris scan visible? I have just had my card, I don't saw the polices do any iris scan.
