বায়োমেট্রিক পাসপোর্ট এবং একটি কেন্দ্রীয় আঙুলের ছাপের ডেটাবেস কি চালু করা উচিত?

AI-generated summary, admin reviewed: This vote introduced biometric passports containing a digital facial image and two fingerprints. The fingerprints would also be stored in a central government database used for issuing and checking identity documents. Supporters argued that biometric passports would be harder to forge, help preserve visa-free travel and meet international and Schengen requirements. They said access to the database would be tightly restricted and could not be used for ordinary police searches. Opponents argued that central storage of sensitive biometric information created privacy and security risks and went further than international rules required. Swiss voters approved the proposal by an extremely narrow margin.
