I’ve long been a fan of the Doc Searls illustration of how car hire would be different if user-centric identity was in place; so i’m a bit dis-illusioned to see this new development – having to provide a fingerprint to hire a car……talk about one extreme to the other.

And when you consider that it is only a couple of weeks since the ‘fingerprint to get into a pub’ initiative – you have to wonder what invasive practice is coming next…..

Anyway, I can’t wait to try and reverse the process, and ask one of my suppliers to verify their fingerprints to me before I give them some money.
