index fingers down on a special pad and then wait while the computer
compares the images against the fingerprints stored in the system of
several million known criminals and suspected terrorists.

STANFORD, Calif.S.
As a result of the September 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade
Center and the Pentagon, most foreign citizens entering the United
States have been required to have their fingerprints checked against
those of known terrorists. While the system is 96 percent accurate overall, Wein
has found that its performance degrades when fingerprint quality is
not good. It's those small percentages that can evade the
system -- with potentially huge consequences.
