Now is the time to buy Aurora shares - soon, there will still be lots of applications of this technology throughout Europe. The European Parliament is to vote this Wednesday on a proposal to include face scans, along with fingerprints, on chips embedded in all EU citizens' and residents' passports. The biometrics chips will be introduced even if the Parliament should vote no, because in the pseudo democracy that is the EU, the Government (the EU Council, composed of ministers from the member states) can simply ignore a vote by the Parliament on many issues. Privacy International, Statewatch and European Digital Rights are moblising against the introduction, they are calling for endorsements of an Open Letter to the Parliament here: http://www.edri.org/campaigns/biometrics/0411
