Personal Privacy - The difference between "Us" and "Them"...

David,

To further clarify your post on the NRID thread, no matter how it is used, the IDX BIO-ID pattern recognition scanner can not be used to capture fingerprint minutiae that is compatible with law enforcement records. In no way can the saved pattern template be used to reconstruct the original fingerprint.

Almost all other companies use a minutiae capture scanner, but only save a portion of the data in encrypted form. The point is that if the BIO-ID scanner doesn't say "Identix" on it, some unscrupulous vendor could modify the scanner to capture your entire fingerprint and proceed to steal your identity. Once they have your fingerprint and name, they could easily find the rest and they are off to the races while you may be off to the poor house.
