On Friday, Sarah and I headed over to a small innocuous building in a Mall somewhere in the urban sprawl of DC. The building, between a Pizza Hut and a Subway, had blacked out windows and an unimpressive look. I was excited, as this was where I was going for biometric scanning to update my green card. I like the science in NCIS and Bones, so I couldn't wait to see the approaches that would be taken to biometricaly scan me. I imagined DNA readers, retinal scanners, maybe one of those cool machines they have at airports now to scan just under your clothes. I imagined there would be blue lights and infrared cameras.
It was disappointing when, after waiting briefly in line, I was fingerprinted and photoed by a very pleasant federal worker, and sent on my way. This was neat and all, but I somehow felt my high tech science hopes had been dashed....
