  Then you'd run into a lot more false positives, which ought to make LSH a non-starter for this application.

    In this case, a false positive might be a good thing from their perspective. If they can show that you have a close match it means they have an excuse to investigate you more thoroughly should they desire even if the real reason is that they suspect you of something else.

  That's fascinating. Thanks. I've only encountered cryptographic hashes, or hashes for data structures that are limited by address size.
