In the forensics field, the fingerprint is used to determine a person's identity. When they have a sample, they or the computer selects atleast 10-14 different points of reference (dots, bifurcations, islands, terminations, etc) and they compare them to the sample in question. If youre speaking in terms of practical use, the human finger is capable of sensing a difference of about 1000th of an inch. (When running it along a "smooth" surface). And I would have to agree that it does give the finger some grip. Almost like a tire. When we grip something wet, the grooves move the liquid away so you can grip it better. Id have to agree.

Call the NSA.  They'll be happy to take a look at everything and take it off your hands.

not really but there is a handy finger print scanner usb device u can use to store all your pw with a finger print there are also plain usb flash drives that can store passwords and personal info

Yes, these devices can be bypassed, if the attacker has a copy of your fingerprint. The professional devices of this kind do much more than checking the image of the fingereprint - e.g., they measure transparency of the capilars and finger temperature, to ensure that they are presented with a real, live finger.\n\nBut the mass-market fingerprint reading devices like the ones you find on laptops, PDAs and FLASH drives don't do this kind of stuff. There have been reports that some of them can be bypassed even with a gummi bear with your fingerprint on it.

*Revising my statement after getting some reassurance that my answer will not enable harm and pondering* Yes you can temporarily.\n\nThere are several ways to remove or hide fingerprints, a few already mentioned above such as the belt sander and slicing of fingertips.\n\nThere is also burning, acids for chemical burns, heat such as a hot grill and press one's fingers against the metal, and I would assume a cold burn has simular effects on the layers of skin.\n\nAll of the above have the side effect of being rather painful and one could really hurt themselves if they do not know what they are doing. Also you still leave a print, just not one with your particular pattern, but were you to be printed soon after, the blankness is just as much of a give away as the actual print.\n\nSo I personally would go the route of not leaving fingerprints in the first place, gloves, specialized latex and gels or even superglue will cover the tips of ones fingers so prints can't be left.\n\n:cP

well that is a part of evidence so they will get to the point of asking for the finger prints on the gun. now if you have a lawyer then the processe will go alot faster.

If the burn is deep enough it may not. Old time criminals would burn off their fingerprints to avoid being arrested. Some used heat and some used acid.\n\nMy suspicion is in a few weeks yours will be back. It takes a very deep burn to remove the skin so deep only a scar is left.

For the short term until it can get to a forensic scientist it would be best to keep it in the medium it was found.  Yes.

Ok,  they should have found alot of fingerprints on the envelope the money was in ( remember that from previous post)  they person who handed you the envelope, the person who put the envelope in a drawer,  your fingerprint.\n\nFirst unless they took your fingerprints they won't know that the print is not yours.  ( it is not valid police investigation not to take as a base the fingerprints of anyone that should have touched the money,\n\nIf they merely find a fingerprint on the outside of your purse, it only proves someone touched the outside of the purse, not enough evidence to do anything with ( really is not)\n\nIf the fingerprint matches someone in the system, if they have thier own machine to match prints, they will have a match in a day or two, if they send it off to the state crime lab or FBi it will take a month or two to get results back.\n\nI would say it is a lost case and they are not really doing anything with the fingerprint.

They can ask you to see it, and they can see it with a warrant.  They could get it out of your trash,if you put it in the trash ( trash normally public domain)
