Doesn't bother me at all. I'd quite happily put my DNA, fingerprints etc on file too. The only people worried about this are criminals and mad conspiracy theorists.

But you know how well the govt looks after your personal data...

If you were to be compromised how would you get replacement DNA and dabs?...

Again, that's just naivity IMO. I'm no conspiracy theorist, Ive just seen spectacular cockups in person.

you are not very imaginative if they are the only reasons you can think of...why does no state routinely do this then is it because everyone is a criminal or a mad conspiracist?

Its a simplistic argument you put forward which ignores the checks and balances that need to exist between the power of the state and the privacy of an individual within a state.
No one has the right to all my personal data except me.

This data is leaked and abused.
"There is one, simple fact: from health records to criminal records, employment details and other personal data, government databases are not only open to abuse, but are actively being exploited by the very people we supposedly trust with our data."
