A lot of people have just accepted surviellance for convienience.

People close to me get TSA precheck even though it requires fingerprinting, because "the government already has your fingerprints"

But if they did, why would they need to ask your for them?

If you’ve gone to jail they totally have your prints already. Fingerprints are identifying information for such a thing. How else would they do that?

Not everyone has gone to jail, but if the govt has your fingerprints it's easier to get convicted regardless of your innocence.
