BTW this anecdote might interest Yonathan Klinger and other anti-bio-id activists since it could be pointing a fatal flaw in the system.

They took my finger prints and asked all kinds of funny questions to make sure its me. Today I went to pick up my new ID and their system could not recognize my finger prints. I got a bit nervous, but they calmed me down that I have nothing to worry because the finger prints are only for the Interior Ministry and they are sure the one in the system matches the one on my finger and that I will only need it when dealing with Interior Ministry and they will mark in the system that the fingerprints did not match when I received the ID. So apparently they have a field in the database for this information. They offered to order a new biometric card - claiming that the problem is only in the card, but they can only do that if first they give the broken one to me. So I'd have a card that can identify me "without any doubt", except that the fingerprint in it cannot be matched to mine. I asked if I could get a new non-biometric ID, but I was told I cannot any more. Once I signed up for biometric ID, I cannot go back. Madness.
