being identical to any particular fingerprint is less than l/l097. The study was able to show the worlds population of 5,900,000 individuals times 10 fingers equals 59,000,000,000 fingers. This show the probability of any two fingers being the same is 59/1088, or I chance in 1086. The second part to the 50K study concluded the probability of a minutiae subset of a non-mate fingerprint being identical to a minutiae subset of any particular fingerprint is less than 1/1027 for a small number of minutiae decreasing to less than 1/10 for large number of minutiae. Again, with the worlds population of 5.9 billion, that is 59 billion fingers, the probability of any two fingerprints being the same is 59/1018, or one chance in 1016 Proving the General Acceptance this survey was done in three parts. Part A was proving whether two different individuals have ever been determined to have the same fingerprints, and does the agency accept fundamental principles of uniqueness and permanent. This was all done with a survey of ten prints to ten prints. Part B was Automatic Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS). This was computerizing demonstrating that amongst the millions of fingerprint records on file, no other individual has the same fingerprints. Part C demonstrated General Acceptance of fingerprint as a means of personal identification for almost 100 years and that over this time no two have the same fingerprints. Another important area was the Government Testimony in the hearing of physiology of the human friction ridged skin and the development of DNA through genetics. Although identical twins carry the same basic heredity unique to everyone, twins do have the same DNA, but different frieton ridge skin.The government experts were to reconfirm the fact that fingerprints are unique to individual and are permanent, and that the identifications are grounded in scientific principles. Various publications and articles listed most of the references ma...
