Skeletal Identification

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the what-about-uriah's-shoulder dept.

Bruce Schneier noted a story today over at his blog about a new Skeletal Identification System being developed at Wright State. Of course this is just another biometric detection system, but one that would be pretty tough to disguise.

    most people would probably suggest positive results be given an extra-high-intensity scan just to confirm it with a clearer image

    I would suggest just turning the sucker up to 11-thousand when you initially scan the perp for the database. Problem solved. Hopefully they don't use one of those lame machines that only goes up to 10-thousand.

    If this goes into regular use, I won't be able to fly without having to worry about cellular level damage. I've already received the maximum life-time dosage of x-rays for medical treatment. The occasional x-ray is fine. What is being proposed here goes way beyond that and puts me into an unnecessary health risk.
