I wonder if IAFIS also includes all the former military whose fingerprints reside
somewhere. Seems like 70 million would be a small number if that's the case.



According to the website I got the info from, yes, it does. Not sure
when it started though. The IADIS system was put in place in 1999.
Could be that our fingerprint records are not included.



That gets back to those smudgy cards I was talking about then.
I am sure that is all they have on me and I have been fingerprinted a
lot.
I still think fingerprints are an archaic art form. These days we have
the ability to use DNA in a similar fashion and it seems to be a far
better ID technology.
Unfortunately it may be too good. You can find out too much from DNA
and privacy people are concerned.
