It will allow law enforcement and security agencies to capture both types of mug shots in seconds as a single snapshot and provides incredible accuracy in correctly mapping the individual being booked in 3D."

    They would make our neighborhoods a whole lot safer if they would keep convicted sex offenders (like the guy in Idaho) in prison forever. I'd go for executing sex offenders convicted of serious crimes (forcible rape or child molestation), provided that there was conclusive DNA evidence linking them to the crime.
