TSA Announces Plans To Subject Domestic Travelers To Biometric Screening [techdirt.com]

These arguments were made against the first Rogues' AGallary after the invention of the photograph. It could even trace back to when we began using names.

Speaking of which, since search engines are immune to any number of lies being placed online about someone, literally ddestroying their reputation (say from an anonymous remailer, where the 'original publisher" literally can't be found), you'd think "privacy" advocates would consider a persons's reputation something worth defending against lies, but most say that "the internet as we know it would cease to exist" without 230. That would be a good thing, because any internet that doesn't protect individual rights -- reputation is considered a basic human right elsewhere, hence the right-to-be-forgotten laws -- should no longer exist as we know it.

Since I'm not a terrorist and have no arrest warrants out for me I actually like the idea that actual criminals will be caught by this.
