First: Does a SIN have genetic information on it? Retinal? Fingerprint most likely...

Second: What if this information is checked against the person using it? Say my runner is crossing into PCC territroy with their ultra strict border patrol. He's not concerned because he's got a very good fake SIN (rating 6). Turns out border patrol hasn't met its quota for the month for busting baddies so it's being extra thorough. They decide to check out mister Gunbunny's info against the real thing. What happens? Does he

A) Get busted because the info on the SIN doesn't match his real characteristics (retina, fingerprints, DNA, whatever)?

B) Get by because his SIN reflects his REAL info?

If your actual DNA, etc. is on your fake SINs then they would prove each other false, wouldn't they? But if those SINs didn't hold that info then they would be flagged as fake once anybody checked.

Maybe a better example would be going to a certified doctor for something mundane like VD ( :| ). If your genetic information and SIN were checked at anytime during that checkup or treatment than it would have to match or else. But then you can't have more than one fake SIN or else that crucial info would match between SINs and you're busted.

I am overanalyzing things or is this a valid concern? How do you think SINs work? Differently than mine?
