I suppose that is on a different scale to denying access to educational
library services because of a lack of fingerprints, but is a structurally
similar dilemma relying on a proportionality principle. E.g. Would you
expect a school to let your son die before it would give consent to amputate
his index finger?
Adequacy is an issue where proportionality for purpose may seemingly be
affected by adherence to the purpose.
