I had a cousin who worked construction (and consequently didn't really have fingerprints).

He also got arrested a lot (like most of my family) and they took to taking palm prints when they booked him.

They would grow back if he went awhile without doing work though; it was definitely a temporary solution.



"they took to taking palm prints"

Well, you could sand those off, too. And while you're at it: sand your toes. And your heels.

Now what would you do when iris scans become a commonplace biometric? Sand off the back of your eyeballs? ;-)


Your iris doesn't leave prints on your gun.
