There's absolutely no need. None of the attacks thus far would have been prevented or deflected with any of these invasive techniques. (Psst - none of the "airline security" measures that have been implemented mean anything either. Lock the cabin door and be done with it.) Simple solution - don’t change it from what it used to be.

It is a perfect example of people shooting down security ideas and plans, but not having an alternative. Either come up with a better solution or find a way of modifying the current practice to make it better. While it is a nicely produced video, it is spreading FUD.

Just because we associate those methods of identification with criminals doesn't have to mean that data from your fingerprints or eye colour is too invasive. With the technology to produce important documents such as this becoming more available, how else are the authorities going to be sure who you are?
