While I'm sure that some of the more extreme anti-government Christian groups are against the biometric passport I have yet to see the Christian community register much concern at all over this issue or any other attack of civil liberties. Most Christian fundimentalists* seem happy to poke into the personal lives of other -- after all, the' re going to hell anyway.

*note I am only referring to fundamentalist Christians in this post -- I do not extend these opinions to all Christians.
Specifically on right wing Christians, you are wrong about any support for such a database.

They universally denounce any such govt. tracking for fear of the "number of the Beast".
