I was putting thought into the problem of overlapping biometrics on SINs. I mean, if you have a SIN but your prints don’t match, what good is it, right? But that assumes every ID Scan is predicated on a full-Matrix search. But despite the blinding speed of the wireless Matrix 2.0, the amount of data is growing at a geometric rate simultaneously. That means detailed searches take time. So if you present an ID the thing probably just checks the LISTED database to see if the biometrics you present a) match the ID and b) match the data on whatever server that ID is SUPPOSED to be tied to. After all, time is money, and the 6^th World of the 2070s is corporate driven. I can’t see people wasting time to sweep the web, plus that would require access to many private databases. Police units could do it, too, but for a routine stop it’s redundant. Realistically, the police are like the locks on your car: they’re there mostly to keep the honest people honest. So too are most ID Checks. If you match your presented / broadcasted ID and that ID matches the data stored on the server like it’s supposed to, that means you’re legit, right? Unless there’s real reason to suspect otherwise of course, and you’ve got the means to do that bigger search.

Thoughts? Agreement or disagreement?
