smooth you were hitting on the same idea I was for matching. In my case instead of using people I use a computer. But this way the person doing the testing can't fudge his results because he doesn't know what his target is. I believe the stats test you are looking for is a goodness of fit test also known as the chi squared test.
Dunedan so you won't under any circumstances support creating a database with all people. How about we discuss one of my other idea's mentioned. All people who are arrested get tested. That is anyone who is taken in, gets their mugshots, and fingerprints done. In that case it should be perfectly legal to do because you are a criminal. Reguardless if it is something minor like disorderly conduct or drunk in public.
This would at least help eliminate a lot of the usual suspects.
