I will repeat: The technologies used for confirming an identity by a fingerprint (i.e., one:one matching) is totally different and incompatible with identifying an anonymous fingerprint (one:many matching). It's not a question of the driver's license fingerprints not being collected in one place; even if they were, the form they are in is totally different than the form police and FBI use, and can't be searched by that system. The commercial biometric industry that is getting underway now is the one:one matching industry, to make sure that you are the person authorized to reach that restricted database over the Internet; the person allowed access to that restricted area and not an imposter; the person who owns the credit card being used and not some thief. All that is determined using one:one technology where you tell your name and then prove you are telling the truth. If you don't tell your name, the system doesn't know who you are. I would argue that one:one matching -- authentication -- is privacy enhancing.
