New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg suggested a plan on Wednesday that would establish a DNA or fingerprint database to [a href="vny!://www.breitbart.com/news/2006/05/24/D8HQE6B80.html"]track and verify all legal U.S. workers[/a].

The mayor said DNA and fingerprint technology could be used to create a worker ID database that will 'uniquely identify the person' applying for a job, ensuring that cards are not illegally transferred or forged.

Bloomberg compared his proposed federal identification database to the Social Security card, insisting that such a system would not violate citizens' privacy and was not a civil liberties issue.  
The real trouble with reality is that there's no background music.

How does he manage to rationalize that, I wonder.  Seems fairly obvious that it does jeopardize civil rights.
Thousands of years ago cats were worshipped.  They have not forgotten.
