The '''biometric scam''' consists of new statutes enacted in [[Illinois]] and a few other places that are gold mines to trial attorneys to shake down productive businesses, like the family-owned White Castle hamburger chain.

White Castle operates 377 locations in 13 states, and has annual revenue of perhaps $750 million. But it is potentially being sued for billions of dollars because of its ostensibly harmless use of biometric scanners for employees to enhance security. [[Dem]]s control the Illinois legislature and more businesses and residents have fled [[Illinois]] in the last few years than nearly any other state.

White Castle appealed to the [[Illinois Supreme Court]], which ruled in favor of a pro-trial attorneys biometric statute there in early 2023. "Illinois Supreme Court allows massive damages in biometric privacy cases but says lawmakers should weigh in."<ref>https://techxplore.com/news/2023-02-illinois-supreme-court-massive-biometric.html</ref>

In April 2023, Reuters explained that "Illinois court decisions acknowledge biometric privacy act's damages a potential business killer."<ref>https://www.reuters.com/legal/legalindustry/illinois-court-decisions-acknowledge-biometric-privacy-acts-damages-potential-2023-04-17/</ref>
