The FBI wants to start databasing more and different types of biometrics, including eyes, scars, tattoos, and palm prints.

A $1 billion will be awarded to the Bureau in order to start the new biometrics database. The first biometric that will be gathered will be palm prints. Countries that already use this type of print have proven it to be a very effective tool in crime solving.

Those who advocate the new database claim that taking inventory of people's biometrics (other than fingerprints) will create more opportunities to punish criminals and identify terrorists. They believe that
the new database will increase the number of criminals who are caught and be an effective way to seek out terrorists.

People opposed to the idea of filing so many personal identifiers claim that this movement is the beginning of a totalitarian-like government. They believe it is a slippery slope and will lead to constant surveillance. These people are deeply concerned about their privacy and civil liberties.
