Eye Scans, Fingerprints to Control NZ Borders

July 29th, 2008

Mmm hmm. See: US, UK, Australia, Canada and New Zealand Building Biometric Database.

Via: Stuff:

Border control staff will be able to use iris scans and finger printing to check passengers’ identities under major changes to New Zealand immigration rules.

Despite criticism from Amnesty International at the level of secrecy permitted, the changes look set to become law, with the National Party pledging its support.

National Party immigration spokesman Dr Lockwood Smith acknowledged the bill’s provision for using biometric information would be “a little bit controversial” but said it would speed up passenger processing and ultimately benefit New Zealanders.

The bill would simplify visa and appeal processes and legislation would be more in tune with New Zealand’s international obligations.

    Holy Mackerel!
    What the fluck is up with NZ?
    Anymore, I dunno. The borders between countries seem to be getting awfully porous.
    Of course, with the price of food, fuel, and other goods for survival at an all time high, the only people that will fly in the future will be high profile rich folk or clandestine operators who have found ways to live outside the box. Thus enabling them to travel.
    What better way to find the free people than to track them biometrically?
    Sorry to hear that those Illumanti dildoes have found their way to NZ.

    I wrote this after observing the situation in NZ for awhile:

    I don’t know who’s behind the wheel of this thing, but it’s not Kiwis. There is some kind of insidious, international banking octopus thing happening here. New Zealand politicians are selling their own country out to a global criminal elite that is going to eat this land alive and spit what remains out into the sea.

    “Sir, your IRIS scan doesn’t match the one on the ONE-WORLD-Database. I’m afraid we’re going to have to detain you under the Terrorism Prevention Act”.

    “No wait, allow me to explain – I recently underwent emergency eye surgery, I have a new artificial IRIS – but I can assure you I’m the same person. I just didn’t have time to go to the police station to update the database with my new IRIS scan”.

    “Sorry, we’ve already heard every wild story possible. You’re not fooling anyone. GUAAAARDS! Take him to the ‘special’ detention cell!”
