If you apply for a passport, from now on your fingerprints will be added to it. If the fingerprints were only on the passport itself, I would not have been bothered to much. But no, our government has decided it should be kept in a central database.

They have made legislation that that database can only be used for certain goals. But you know, when the database starts growing, it gets attractive to link to unidentified criminal fingerprints. Maybe not by this governement, but the next one or the one after that.

I regret not realising it last week, I could have renewed my passport.
