I thought I mis-heard this story this morning on the radio, but, sadly, I was wrong:

ROCKVILLE, Md. (AP) Montgomery County residents will soon be required to scan their fingers to enter recreation centers. Officials say switching from plastic passes to finger scanners will save the recreation department $50,000 annually.

Update: And, using Rockwell’s Law, we can be sure that the opposite of this is true:

Montgomery County recreation officials have been quick to point out that the data collected through their vein scans … will not be available to other county departments or police.
