The +biometric data, comprising fingerprints and a photograph of the face, +will be stored in a central government database and private +corporations, such as airlines, will have access to the fingerprints +stored on the chip. + +With its campaign against fingerprints in identity documents, the CCC +has helped to ensure that in future passports, fingerprints will only be +included with the express wish of the applicant. -- cgit v1.2.3
