Hi Dan, It's not an issue of whether you have anything to hide. It's an issue of what your basic rights are as a human being, and the right for you to protect your own private information. Consider a hypothetical scenario where the government is corrupted, and they have a way to duplicated a finger print at will. With the knowledge of your fingerprint, they can literally create any damaging evidence against you at will if they like. The "you" here is generalised to the society. Do you wonder why the official identification is not good enough to identify you? After all, that is the purpose of the identification paper.
