Import Service Business Opportunity

Folks,

The word "monopoly" caught my eye, because it always means there is big money
for the small
business. This article says fingerprint technology is bogus and the FBI has a
monopoly on it. That
would guarantee that we pay too much and get too much, that the quality,
selection and service is
poor.

A team managed overseas could provide fingerprint matching for usa clients,
meaning perhaps
money could be made charging a superpremium over costs, which would be far less
than it costs
now in USA.

Say a fingerprint match costs $3500 in USA, and $200 overseas... one could offer
fingerprint
matches with full reports for $500, doing everyone a favor. Since people go to
jail for life or are
executed over a single fingerprint "match" this may be a popular service. Look
for a place where
they excel at extremely fine line drawings, they'd be naturals...

And think of how many people have been proven not guilty now that DNA evidence
excludes them
as the perpetrator. Every fingerprint conviction could be reviewed, and if, as
the article states, the
FBI inspector general found 25% of the positive matches were wrong, well, then
there may be a
whole lotta biz out there springing the innocent from prison. Heck, you could
charge $2000 with
a money back guarantee, "if we don't get you released from prison, you don't
have to pay." The
25% of convicts you spring from the slam woulds cover the 75% you could not
help. (I think the
math works...)

One thing I thought was strange, the innocent victim, Mayfield, was told his
fingerprint was on the
bag in question. When his public defenders asked to see his fingerprint, and
the one the
government had (Mayfield was once a army lieutentant so the feds had his
fingerprints), the feds
said no, the fingerprints were a matter of national security. If both
fingerprints were the
defendents, how could it be necessary to keep them secret? I'd fire my
defenders.
