Steve, Thank the lurker.....I always say......5 people searching is better than 4 people searching. OK.....a secret link. Don't tell anybody...... Go to the INS website....Hit other Government links...Dept. of Justice...search that site for Identix. J.A.B.S.....program. Identix scanners...... Very interesting. Why has IDX never mentioned anything about this? bg ps. Do not forget the 2nd INS deal.......the one with the workstations and TouchViews. Just a reminder.
