As if face, fingerprints, and iris scan weren’t enough for Identification. Now the Vietnamese government wants its citizens DNA too.

    If you ignore the privacy issues having everyone use biometrics for everything would massively cut down on fraud.

    I’m not advocating for it at all. But you can’t deny it would ruin a lot of scams.

      Not really, except for where they re-take your biometrics to confirm. More often, biometrics get turned into digital info which can’t be changed. If a scammer gets your DNA biometric, tough shit, you’re now unable to change it and deny the scammer access. It is a huge boon for some forms of fraud.
