Bringing down those odds
I agree with the above figures regarding the number of false positives. However, it is possible to mitigate these. Say for example you use 3 different forms of biometric id (eye, face & fingerprint). It is then possible to compare the returned (possibly) false positive to one or both of the other forms of bio id.
I am totally against the whole idea of the ID's. Im just saying that there is a way around the issue of false positives. Of course this would involve a much larger database and taking more civil liberties away from people. But what the hell. How can we stop them.....?
