The FBI Is Developing Software to Track and Sort People by Their Tattoos
An Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) investigation just revealed an awfully Orwellian fact: the FBI is working with government researchers to develop advanced tattoo recognition technology. This would allow law enforcement to sort and identify people based on their tattoos to determine “affiliation to gangs, sub-cultures, religious or ritualistic beliefs, or political ideology.”

This makes my fears (when I was younger) of having a personalized license plate seem, because it would make me instantly recognizable, seem silly in comparison.
