Welcome Cyndi Parker!

Brad,
Your digitized fingerprint on a driver's license post is very important. It is too bad nobody has responded to it. That is the danger of too much cyberbabble. Important posts, like yours and also my Identix commercial, gets lost in the noise. I know you thought my commercial was goofy, but my point was to illustrate the advantage of being able to both biometrically protect your credit card/ traveller's cheques and unconditionally verify your identity at the same time WHEREVER YOU ARE, WHATEVER THE CURRENCY (instant currency conversion)! I was also trying to raise the idea of smart card companies using the "Identix inside" claim to create instant trust and feelings of safety. Oh well. Someday I will draw you a picture.

Miss Parker is obviously confused. No law enforcement agency would be stupid enough to store police records on a driver's license. You could only update the information once every 3 or 4 years when the license is renewed. It is more likely that the license is used to verify identity and the person's records are downloaded from a central computer.

Although Miss Parker doesn't have a clue, she is exactly the sort that will make sure minutiae extraction methods (NRID, FINX, Identicator, etc.) which are compatible with criminal fingerprint databases will NOT be used for driver's licenses, credit cards and other civilian commercial applications. I wonder what she would think about a digitized retinal scan. This obviously makes Identix's pattern recognition algorithm a front runner. It also raises questions about whether or not Lockheed or IBM's algorithm or Veridicom's or Harris's scanners use minutiae-based algorithms.

P.S. Jenny and Corey are doing well. Corey is already making better decisions than the Iowa Hawkeyes' quarterback.
