The database, not the scanner
Your Palm Is in Two Databases
A fingerprint reader on a door captures one trait at one moment, but the reading is enrolled into stores that are increasingly linked, breached, brokered or queried. This brief asks which biometric stores hold a principal's records, who governs each, and what lever exists to remove a template when the holder changes. Built from operators' own published figures for national, forensic and vendor systems. For family offices weighing which enrollments to accept.
