This totally depends on what is collected, if the requirements are some form of national id submission, ie. licenses or passports, then it opens all handlers up to tremendous abuse possibilities. Or at the very least paints a big sign on their backs that they handle mass quantities of offical government forms of biometric id, something I think would do much more harm than good in the long run as each company would need to be bulletproof to avoid.
