Welcome to the new age folks. Things change. Hell, the TSA changes rules everyday concerning freight on aircraft. My folks have been finger printed for passports here in the states. My Dad had to go through a complete background check AGAIN just to go to Russia.

In this context, 1984 of course. Animal Farm's been done many times before...

Old news...

However I think this summs it up nicely, it's a comment left on the article link that I read yesterday, though I cannot find it directly; apparently the times only displays the first x comments

Paraphrased: "We've had this for ages, supposedly to help taking out/tracking library books. Strange how we still don't have a finger print scanner in the library..."
