I thought the point of developing biometrics was additive and used as another form/layer of verification, not to stop using all other forms of ID and just use the fingerprint.

I would rather use a credit card w/ "ask for Id" written in the signature field for all of my transactions.

Finally, who's to say that eventually that this data won't get sold to the federal government by private companies as test data for the TSA/homeland security. Where does the data go when this company goes bankrupt?
