Biometrics, stay alert!

Something to watch out for is the Biometrics option (and it IS an OPTION!) being introduced into schools. Supposedly to ease dinner Q's and Library access. What you need to watch, is that you have inadvertantly signed up to a whole child profiling system running in the background. To include the recording of everything from psychological problems, who they sit with to finger print recognition, palm print, iris recognition, academic performance, general behaviour etc, etc.
It's an open back door to watching and recording your children from cradle to grave.
Just because your school ISN'T doing it now, doesn't mean they won't slip in the extras later.
STAY ALERT. ASK QUESTIONS!
The good news; It comes under the Data Protection act, Government guidelines, which allow one parent alone or the child / children to withdraw from the scheme. The school HAS TO HAVE an alternative system for you to use! It is also coveredby; "The duties on schools in the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 set out in
this advice come into effect from 1 September 2013."
To see an example Google Minted Box Education.
This group created the Website for the Company doing the catering for the Secondary/comprehensive school in New Milton, Hants. I suspect the catering company is using their finger print scanning equipment.
Just a bit too cosy?

(playing along)

So this is the same kind of institution (govt) that can't properly oversee a company to get big software and hardware systems delivered on time or on budget. Whose ministers take risks with data sticks and laptops, letting journalists see confidential documents when they walk into Downing street. Who let somebody like Baby P slip thru the net only to watch lots of Heads roll afterwards. Or who can't even forecast and prevent an event like 7/7.

But they can coordinate a giant conspiracy to monitor our children from cradle to grave. I mean DAMN, they're GOOD at appearing repeatedly incompetent while simultaneously entrenching the power of the Illuminati, aren't they? Wink

I hope you gave up eating at McDonalds in the 80s when I did after reading what the CIA put in their spice mix.
