Governments have been storing biometric data for decades. I was asking which private company has been doing so - as that is what was being alluded to.

*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).
