Fingerprinting and Six Flags
Fact-checking Grumpy Old Bens yet again!
- Typically (universally?) a CCD photographs friction ridges directly.
- For LEA use, prints are stored as symmetric hashes (not the same as cryptographic hashing). Six-Flags "hashing" the fingerprints is meaningless.
- Only latent fingerprint images which are part of an ongoing investigation are actually retained as evidence.
Fun fact:
- 59,866,563 civil,
- 78,926,734 criminal,
- 3,541,015 "individuals of special concern", and
- 14,210,822 OPM
Fingerprints in NGI idFP repository (156,545,134 total).
