How long until some custom-written "virus" is written to erase (or alter) the records of the sort of people that these systems are supposed to identify?
With so many obvious holes and vulnerabilities in these systems that governments are purporting to use to protect the people from terrorism etc., one wonders if it truly is one big con-job given the "bad guys" could infiltrate a lot of these systems if they truly desired to?
