This paper summarizes a hearing on the results of a study on the US-VISIT program. It analyzes the ability of the program to accurately match the fingerprints of visitors at ports of entry against a watch list that contains the stored fingerprint images of suspected terrorists. The speaker emphasizes that there is a serious but reparable vulnerability in the biometric identification system of the US-VISIT program, but that a minor software modification could increase detection probability.
