It seems to be extremely naive to think this information is not already in the hands of groups which do use it against you and for their own profit ie insurance companies!!

That said there does need to be systematic improvement in authenticated access to such information but seriously what will a hacker do with such information it has no intrinsic value except for criminal mishchief and sequelae therefore such exaggerated concerns regarding safety is really off the mark and shows that infotech security experts need to be educated and perhaps help

This is a great advancement in security. http://igg.me/p/268456/x/1289609
