Brad...I also like the implications of the following excerpt. The STARS project will, I'm sure, have to address these issues, and now that IDX is the database (so to speak), it seems that future incorporation of biometrics into other areas might also include IDX in both hardware and software, no? "Use of IDENT by other enforcement and benefits programs will pose even greater challenges for INS. The integration of IDENT and biometrics into INS programs such as benefits processing, inspections, detention and deportation, and investigations has yet to be accomplished. Linking IDENT with other Federal and state law enforcement and benefit systems will also require considerable INS resources. Although we are limiting our recommendations to INS' current use of IDENT as a border enforcement tool, we strongly urge INS to proceed with ongoing efforts to expand its use of fingerprints in other aspects of its work."
