Israel to create tourist biometric database? (Ynetnews) According to Interior Ministry proposal, visitors refusing to provide fingerprints will be banned entry.
Pretty soon everyone will be doing this; Ghana already does something similar at the Accra airport. I can't see why Israel would issue tourists an ID card though . On the one hand, isn't that what a passport is for? On the other, if they're collecting biometrics why not use them?
