According to reports in the NEA newspaper the Greek authorities are on the verge of introducing the fingerprinting of children as young as six years old. As the country introduces the new biometric passport in line with Euopean legislation the Greek authorities have decided to join the hard core of states in Europe demanding even tougher anti - terrorist security measures.This includes the finger printing of children as young as six when issuing passports.
According to Syriza MP, Fotis Kouvelis this is a direct contravention of the Greek constitution and legislation concerning the protection of minors.

Teacher Dude, you've convinced me you've done the work - it's authentic. I also think that you've been fair and thorough. I didn't get the sense that you were hiding your biases, or passing off other's work as your own. Or worse -- getting paid by those you cover -- so it's transparent and independent. I also think you deserve praise for being an eyewitness, and for your investigative efforts. Good stuff.

I find that all very scary. The UK was considering something similar, involving identifying "potential at-risk kids" and basically getting them into the criminal justice system pre-emptively.
