The EU is planning to. http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-16-1247_en.htm: "The proposed system stores alphanumeric and biometric data (a combination of four fingerprints and the facial image). [...] The System is composed of a central database connected to national entry points." If/when this comes to be, that database will probably be both well-protected and an incredibly tempting attack target. |

*more to the point, the only way I see a government who stores biometric data being an issue WRT security: the government is after you (in which case they're likely getting what they want anyway), or it's a targeted attack from a foreign government (in which case biometric theft is the least of your concerns).
