I have just read in a Sunday paper (and this may be the beginning of an awful urban myth!!) that manual workers (such as archaeologists might well be classed) will be unable to take advantage of the government's proposed ID/biotechnics scheme because our fingerprints are 'too worn down' to register on the equipment.
Which made me think that inadvertently there are after all some advantages to being an archaeologist. Any other suggestions?

Was wondering the same thing myself a while back. Might it not qualify us for "internment" just to be on the safe side? At least until the fingerprints grow back.

I reckon this (fact?) is more likely to qualify us to have a special Biometric retina-reading laser beamed into our eyes. They'll always get you in the end...

well i thought we were all regarded as some sort of sub-human mole species, and therefore probably exempt from all this big brother id stuff
