DNA Testing and fingerprint comparison was largely done by comparing the results by hand, as opposed to computers.\n\nWhen comparison by computers came into the picture, accuracy skyrocketed.

If you want a secure one, dont get one that you sit your whole finger on at the same time, try to get one that you "swipe."  If you get one that your whole finger rests on, it is very easy to bypass it with a gelatin copy, made by using the fingerprint pad.

A very good question from your nephew\nNature provides us with the natural form of clones:\nidentical twins share the same genetic makeup and even\ndeveloped in the same uterus. Nevertheless, their\nfingerprints are not identical, though similar. The\nformation of fingerprints is partly the result of a\nstochastic process.\nThe ultimate shape of fingerprints are believed to be influenced by environmental factors during pregnancy, like nutrition, blood pressure, position in the womb and the growth rate of the fingers at the end of the first trimester. \n\n\nSo identical twins and clones are similar and they have similar but not identical finger prints.

It all depends on what kind of Background Check: If it's a Criminal background it means your Criminal history with the Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and or local Departments. If it's a Credit history, it could mean, jobs, addresses and other type of relevant information.\n\nIt is most likely a Criminal Background Check, so it only means all the arrests where your fingerprints where taken, whether convicted or not.\n\nIf you where never convicted of an arrest then you must obtain Certified Court records that show charges dismissed or never filed...

Look closely at your finger, you will see lots of little lines. Those lines form a unique fingerprint for you. When you touch something oils from your skin leaves a "print" of your finger which can be collected and matched to you.

The biological stamp should be something connected to the genetic make-up and the DNA of an individual. But the most visible and verifiable one is one's fingerprint. This is quite unique to individuals.

Don't think so. The process can't be reversely done.\n\nFingerprint is hashed from public key, one can't unhash it back, i.e. N -> C where N >> C is possible, but reverse is not.\n\nAlso, if one could go from fingerprint to a public key, then from public key he/she could derive the private key. Then the whole key-scheme security would be completely broken/useless.

The current application fee is $330.00, I'm not sure if that includes the fingerprinting, but I think it does. No need to talk to a lawyer, since the whole process is really straight forward - fill out the forms, get your fingerprints, go to the interview, go to the ceremony and ...voila you're a citizen.

there is technology now that scans the finger prints

You can see what I was able to find on it. Do you have some kind of Fingerprint Identification software. I know there is a new Laptop that uses fingerprint reading instead of passwords now.\n\n FIU Fingerprint Identification \n\nGINA Graphical Identification and Authentication \n\nhttp://search.yahoo.com/search?p=Fiu+Gina.dll&ei=UTF-8&fr=b1ie7&b=1\n\nYou might want to go here and post a thread and see if jibberjabber, onemjc or one of the others might have a better answer.\n\nhttp://messages.toolbar.yahoo.com/toolbar/forumview?bn=394500001-antispy

Identical twins generate a lot of curiosity. And a lot of misconceptions! Parents of multiples have probably not given a great deal of thought to their childrens' fingerprint patterns, but the general public has spent a lot of time wondering about this topic. \n\nSo, do identical twins have identical fingerprints? The basic answer is NO. Identical -- or monozygotic -- twins form when a single fertilized egg splits in two after conception. Because they form from a single zygote, the two individuals will have the same genetic makeup. Their DNA is virtually indistinguishable. \n\nHowever, fingerprints are not an entirely genetic characteristic. Scientists love to use this topic as an example of the old "nature vs. nurture" debate. Fingerprinting, along with other physical characteristics, is an example of a phenotype -- meaning that it is determined by the interaction of an indivdual's genes and the developmental environment in the uterus. \n\nThe ultimate shape of fingerprints are believed to be influenced by environmental factors during pregnancy, like nutrition, blood pressure, position in the womb and the growth rate of the fingers at the end of the first trimester. \n\nTwins DNA Testing\nIdentical or fraternal? Find out with an affordable DNA test\nwww.proactivegenetics.com\nThus, you will find similar partterns of whorls and ridges in the fingerprints of identical twins. But there will also be differences -- just as there are differences between the fingers on any individual's hands. Suggested Reading\nMore Myths About Multiplies

In the post 9-11 world, fingerprinting and background checks are becoming the norm instead of the exception.  I had to have my fingerprints taken and an F.B.I. background check to get my job.\n\nI don't think you get fingerprinted for traffic tickets, unless of course the violation was an arrestable offense.  \n\nShould people entering our country be fingerprinted.  You bet.  Its high time America had some type of control over our borders.

1) A fingerprint sensor\n2) A stored sample of an acceptable finger print\n3) Analysis software to staticially match the finger print\n4) A signal of a match sent to the car ignition\n5) Packaging to fit this into the car\n6) Integration into the security components of the car
