The issue for me is that you can't invalidate or change it once your biometric data is out there, which it definitely will be.

I don't think imposters will need access to your blood, just the data about it. That will be enough to cause real damage I think.

You seem pretty chipper on the idea but I'm less optimistic. Firstly about even having those concerns but then also having to actually deal with the fallout once your biometric data is in the hands of some Belgian drug gang.

Like take a detached step back and re-read what you've written there. What you've described is a chilling prospect to me.
