Fingerprint....

Today I went to sort out my work pass thingy and for the first time in my life I had a fingerprint scan. So I assume from now on I can’t do any dirty thing because they have my fingerprint in a database which is eventually shareable and searchable. Not that I intend to do anything illegal (except jaywalking maybe and having sex in public spaces).

First of all in Singapore is not like in all those cheap American movies with some ink thing and the police man is pushing your finger in it (most of the time the police man is pissed off in those scenes). It is a smooth device which scans your fingers; you just have to put them above a sensor.

The feeling of doing this was very weird. First I felt like being a criminal by doing this. Secondly I felt that they invaded my privacy. My life will never be the same again…
