How can lines on fingers and palm be matched with fingerprints?
- rsfern 5y agoI’m not sure about in the UK, but when I had prints taken in the US recently for a background check (my kid is in a coop preschool) they scanned the whole length of my fingers, so maybe they had partial data to match against?

- rosndo 5y agoWhen they arrested me they took palmprints (sides too!) with their fancy swiss fingerprinting machine they were very proud of.
