Many western countrys including Spain and Italy have done this and it is not like they have turned into police states.
I know that didn't really answer the question but I thought I would throw it out there.

Biometrics are a major, major problem because once the data is stolen, it can't be changed. The computer translates the image into digital information, which is compared to whatever is in the database. If someone gets a hold my password, I can change it. If someone gets a hold of the digital version of my retna, it's not like I can go out and get new eyes.
Do you think that the woman in Denver should have been forced to show her ID?
