Technology in and of itself, I believe, is amoral. In that sense I do not wish to demonize biometrics, but the level of control it will enable is unparalleled.

I fear that whatever biometric technologies or practices we develop for use overseas, will eventually be employed domestically. The combination of trends in our government and economy, with future capabilities in biometrics and other technology scares the hell out of me; I fear for the future of our Republic.
