WTF? Fingerprint scan test OK'd for school bus!!
[link to www.mydesert.com]
Students who ride the bus to and from Ronald Reagan Elementary and Colonel Mitchell Paige Middle schools will soon have their fingerprints scanned during every trip.
The Desert Sands Unified School District school board on Tuesday unanimously approved a pilot program to install and test the Biometric Observation Security System (BOSS) on about six school buses at the two schools.

The system, which includes a small laptop computer and attached fingerprint scanner, tracks who is on the bus and warns drivers if a student is getting on the wrong bus or getting off at the wrong stop.

“If we don't start with safety for our children, nothing else happens in Desert Sands,” board member Matt Monica said, adding that it would be “irresponsible” to not approve the test program.

So now are children are being treated like criminals?? Where will it end? wtf

I think they need to stop testing people period and ask people first.

A bus only holds so many, if they cannot figure out who is supposed to be on that bus by memory - how are they even remembering when/where to stop to drop them off?

This is another way of stating to all, that the schools do not want to be bothered with watching the students.

I do! Mods pin this shit...

There's no reason for it! What are they worried about, some 7 year old getting on the bus who isn't supposed to be there?? Gotta watch out for those 7 year old terrorists! For fucks sake they're making a fingerprint database.

I know how it's going to be used. Just like the TSA pics were never supposed to be saved. They're making a database of fingerprints. Forget RFID chips. Biometrics is the equally scary but non evasive way of doing the same thing.

"Meetings will be held for parents and letters will be sent home with students and parents can opt out of the scanning program, said Superintendent Sharon McGehee."

Every parent should opt out, stop this before it gets off the ground.

Since our fingerprint/thumbprint is unique, it will be better to use as ID and identification instead of cards, One scan will bring up our records for the doctors office, law enforcement etc.... Children cant keep track of cards, so its the perfect system. We will probaly make transactions with it too thru a central future banking system .

At present, children have no form of ID except memorizing their name, and address if they are old enough, What if one of them gets lost. Its better this way to know who is who. even a child. They can pay for their school lunches too this way by having their own account to pay for their food.
