"Biometric" seems to be a big word I see coupled with passports these days, I assume soon enough you're going to get swabbed if you want a passport.
Where I live I can't even pick up packages from the post office without a valid, non-expired ID. One time I went to get something I'd ordered without realising my ID had expired a week before, and the clerk just told me they couldn't legally hand me the package. I had to ask a random person to go to the counter for me, lol.
(A driver's license would also work, I guess and I don't think you get printed for one of those. But they're not as widely accepted as passports and EU ID cards)
To add to that, I'm pretty sure Google, Facebook, Microsoft and who knows how many other tech companies already have detailed profiles on each of us :desolate:
Just making a joke about Germans having a big bratwurst-sized hardon for authority and bureaucracy
