Parents prepare to sue fingerprint grabbers | The Register:

Parents are preparing a legal challenge to schools that have fingerprinted their children without their consent.

Janine Fletcher, a solicitor and concerned parent who instigated the legal response, said she became concerned when she learned that 70 schools in her home county of Cumbria had taken childrens' fingerprints without seeking parental consent.

Ahem.

Bwah ha ha ha ha ha!

How's your 'security' plan working now? What, innocent people have a right to privacy? Kids are too young to sign away that right (imho, presidents are too young to sign away that consent for anyone!). How strange.

Now your stupid HomeRoom Security Initiative is crushed under the light of inspection, and all it took was a tiny WhatTheFuck.

Can we start acting like we want to protect kids, now, and less like little fascists? Bring TAG back, and let kids be kids, now -- let them not need to worry about whatever their idiot minders will think of next in the way of 'protection'.

Pardon me, I need to log off: I think some Airport Insecurity Drone needs to confiscate my laptop. I heard them saying it could probably play Quake 5, you see, and they don't need a reason ...
