"Wrong question. What is the likelyhood of any two of us having the same fingerprint/footprint/eye print? (Doesn't the ink used in an eye print really sting?)"

LOL...b_sharp; I betcha it would hurt for awhile....ouch :)

Airport authorities also say iris scanning can weed out impostors. The British Airport Authority (BAA), which has been working with the scheme at Heathrow, says the risk of fake identity is minimised because biometric information ***is unique to every individual***.

I know about iris scanning, I was just being goofy (I am good at it).

My point was that you are assuming that having similar finger/foot/iris prints is the default which is not necessarily so. Having different prints is just as logical a default as having similar prints. Because of this any attempt at relying on probability calculations for this case is useless.
