Hey I'm a bit of a thinker, somtimes my ideas are ok and sometimes not. But I was thinking about a way you could stop identity theft and i got to thinking. Since all the credit card processing machines are connected to a phone line to verify it, what if there was a thing where when issued your card it took a picture of your face, or your pupil, or even your fingerprint. Then that information is stored in a database, and when you try to buy soemthign at the store you are required to look at a camera, and it detects if your face matches certain areas of the picture taken when you was issued the card, or it loks at your pupil and compares them, or even you fingerprint. I'm sure there a coupel ways it could be misused that I havent thought about. But what do yall think about it. Do you think it would work? Or would it be to much trouble. I dont think any of the ways today that say can prevent identity theft actually work, without you paying something like that Lifelock company. I think it works pretty well, but don't you have to pay and there really is always a chance that somethign will get through. But with this face detection,m or pupil comparision, or fingerprint scanner. I cant think of way it could be fooled. Just curious as to what yall think, this idea probably wont go any further then this forum, but it never hurts to ask. Thanks
