"largest biometric database" is fraught with complications. Does
it contain the largest number of subjects, individual images,
on-line vs. off-line, or criminal vs. non-criminal? By most
standards the "worlds largest" biometric database is the Indian
Aadhaar system which has enrolled around 400 million individuals
with finger, iris, and face biometrics. The US DHS Ident system
contains approximately 130 million subjects. While the FBI may
have the world's largest criminal biometric data base, it would
be hard to make the claim it's the worlds largest.  By Michael
