The FBI has been given approval to create a computer database containing people’s physical characteristics, such as fingerprints, eye scans, as well as tattoo mapping. The FBI hopes that this will aid them in their hunt for criminals as well as domestic terrorists.

However this new plan has many downfalls, including the major issue of privacy. Many people feel that is an invasion of privacy and the FBI’s decision could spark an upraise in many people. But the FBI says that this is only a small step in order help protect the everyday lives of all Americans.

The estimated price of this project will be around $1 billion and it will be used to track criminals and criminal activity. The FBI already has over 55 million sets of finger and palm prints on file, and hopes to eventually have scars, tattoos, eye patterns, and facial shapes on file as well.

Advocates of privacy argue that this is only the first step in a means of tracking all Americans. Soon the government will be able to track all Americans, no matter where they go. Many think that the government does not have this right and should leave people alone.
