This is unlikely. Second, it is likely that the means of fooling the technology may be devised. Scott McDonald Of biometric identification technologies, fingerprints are the easiest and cheapest to obtain. And the fact fingerprints are often found at crime scenes makes it appealing to law enforcement to have a storehouse of fingerprints. David Mintie Finger imaging is the standard in states that implemented or are piloting biometric identification systems.
States working on legislation also have sights set on finger imaging.
North Carolina is first to legislate implementation of a statewide dual-biometric system, a trend as no single biometric produces perfect results. The jury is out on which biometric will be the secondary candidate. Even among these, the prime candidate remains finger imaging. Other newer technologies, such as the capacity to take a read of the retina in the eye, will take their place. Such a reading is considered absolutely unique to the individual, and such an identification system can be linked to databases of information kept on the individual.
