#1 To explain the palm prints, I think that a recent court decision really rattled the FBI. The *County* judge pointed out the glaringly obvious, that although a partial fingerprint *could* indicate a particular person, that it was so inaccurate as to be below any usefulness as evidence.

Turned out the judge knew what she was talking about, which jeopardized a bunch of criminal cases nationwide, based solely on such partial prints. Even the FBI had to admit that she was right.

#3 Tatto mapping is a very cunning move, I mean, otherwise, how could these people ever be identified in a crowd, for example?

#5 Palm prints and eyes scans have been common currency in films and television shows for years. It's about time reality caught up. ;-)

#10 IIRC, we had to provide palm prints to be accepted as foster-parents last year. Guess it's the "newest thing". Hope it does some good.
