-------- Original Message -------- Subject: a request for help from Politech Date: Thu, 10 Feb 2005 12:49:03 -0800 (PST) From: The Undisclosed Location <theundisclosedlocation@private> To: declan@private Declan, I'm an avid longtime Politech reader and I'm hoping you can provide some assistance, either personally or by submitting this to the Politech community. My employer (a non-profit cultural organization in New York City that is in no way a high security target) is proposing to institute a biometric hand swipe system to track employee comings and goings. I intend to formally submit my concerns in the coming days and I would greatly appreciate any articles, studies, reports, etc. you can direct me to - or for that matter, some poignant pull-quotes from Politech's informed readers - to support my argument. I'm particularly concerned about not only the privacy and personal liberties issues this raises, but also about the inadequate explanation my employer has offered about how this information will be maintained, secured and who will have access to it. I've followed the debate of these issues with great interest and I thank you and the community in advance for your help. Sincerely, DW theundisclosedlocation@private <mailto:theundisclosedlocation@private> _______________________________________________ Politech mailing list Archived at http://www.politechbot.com/ Moderated by Declan McCullagh (http://www.mccullagh.org/)
