I'm not seeing a similar outrage over that practice...
Fingerprints don't open up the door to the same relationship capabilities that DNA does.
We see the IRS targeting certain groups based on little more than the name of the organization they formed and keyword tracking is common across the internet for commercial as well as investigative purposes. Once this database starts to build there is likely to be more and more "need" to keep the database up to date as well as to fill in various "blanks". It should make most people more than a little concerned that all of this data is being compiled even though there is no immediate need for the government to have that information.
The absolute LAST thing we want to do is to give the government carte blanche to accumulate personal information without very good and very limited reason for doing so. The potential for abuse is simply too dangerous.
