Cash, check or finger?
Fingerprint technology allows consumers to pay without cash, credit cards
The "Pay By Touch" program at Cub Foods allows customers to purchase their foods by just scanning their fingerprint. Users must register with the system by supplying a blank check and a government-issued ID. When a customer checks out with the Pay By Touch, the system accesses his or her checking account and withdraws the amount they owe.
This recent article on the Iowa State Daily's website is just scary. Can you imagine how easy it would be for the government to completely control who was allowed to buy and sell things when you do all your transactions electronically, authorized by a fingerprint? Eeww. Worse than any scary movie at the theater.
