But this might improve your skin texture (the original one!). <g>

But the idea is not that bad (just ink to finger). One can try to render
his or her own fingerprints!

  Hmm... on second thought, maybe I should add a warning to this idea -
"Don't post your fingerprints on the internet!" It may sound like a bit of
paranoia on my part but who knows what someone might do with a high-quality
reproduction of *your* fingerprints <g>.

  Footprints might be pretty harmless, though.

Unless they are found at the site of a crime. I think you're right. Don't
publish your fingerprints anywhere.

Funny, that was the second thought that came into my mind when I wrote
this and at that moment I thought it would be wise to alter the picture
if I post it anywhere.
There is no paranoia to this just that important part of carefulness.

BTW, I heard that the american government thinks about selling their
driving license databases to private organisations. Is that true? I
wouldn't feel good if I knew that there could be private enterprises
running around there that had so much information about me plus a
picture.

You can't be sure of that.

In the U.S.A. all babies have their footprints taken after birth.
At least those born in a hospital.

Hey!!! You are starting very early with suspecting your youth! <g>

I guess that this is a reasoned in the high sums that parents had
gotten, when their child had been swaped.

I'm happy that there is still someone around here. It's really
interesting how the posting frequency drops, when the end of an IRTC
round comes.
(At least I and some OT traffic to it!)

Have you finished your entry, Ken?

Well, all you who have submitted (or will submit) ... good luck!

  I'm not sure why they take foot prints of babies here. My mom has
the set taken of me that dates back to the late 1950's so it has
been in practice for some time.

  I haven't finished and barring a miracle leap year I didn't hear about
I'm going to miss it again. Too many extraneous activities got in the way.
I really wanted to have an entry this time too darn it !

Maybe I'll enter one that complies with the theme, like a full black image,
and hope I get points for theme interperation. :)

I'm sorry to hear that. Apart from this NG I bet you still have a real
life! 
I too was breaking my not so little fingers to get mine ready in time
(just to make sure that those at the last ranks don't feel too lonely
;-) ). But creating these images is fun and that's all the reward I
need.

Maybe in the USA they work on the basis that eventually, everyone's
going to be guilty of something - it's just a matter of waiting?

I'd hope there was a more medically related purpose to it - but being
paranoid doesn't mean that "they" aren't out to get you!

Sounds like the father who punishes his son in the morning. "But father, I
didn't do anything wrong". "Not yet, my son, not yet, but you propably will,
and this evening I'll be too tired to punish you".
