A lot of forensic science is borderline or outright pseudoscience. Genetic testing with a FP rate worse than photo comparisons... Whats the ROC of the fingerprint comparison? Oops 'experts' working on comparing fingerprints haven't ever heard of a ROC. The reason much of it works at all is because it gets applied primarily where there is a lot of other extremely traditional evidence (witnesses, motive, etc.). Overconfidence in science-theater investigations have been resulting in more calls for dragnet operations, which would have extremely bad results.
