International AFIS experiment anyone?

So, has anyone searched their own prints in AFIS or IAFIS or whatever your local AFIS goes by?
Would it be possible, would anyone be interested to circulate their own prints for AFIS searches in other regions or countries?
Would be interesting to see what you folks think about that.
Who knows, we could possibly even build some statistical model on it?

Hi Anton
Way back when we first got AFIS I did and guess what, no hit and the scores that came back were very low. Thats when I became happy that this new mainframe computer monster maybe useful. But I think you maybe pushing it to get me to send my prints to Sth Africa. By the way are those photos doing the rounds on the internet showing dedicated police officers in the new Sth Africa for real. Are they working you guys so hard that you are all falling asleep at your desks and on the firing range!!
Good to see your team starting to win, they have lots of support here, hope they make it through to play the All Blacks.

Anton, Are you just going to search the prints through your AFIS/IAFIS and record scores? If that's it, I've got no problem letting you search my prints...I've never been to South Africa (I've got the passport to prove it) so I'm not worried about anything. Just as long as you don't retain them as a 10-print card

IM me your email address and I'll send them your way.

Hi Josh
Don't mind me I'm just a bit paranoid, I prefer not to fly through the USA to Europe because of the requirements. I prefer to fly a Muslim airline, plus they are cheaper.

Anton,
My prints are in the mail. Hopefully you'll get them in a week or so...don't know the time delay for shipping/mailing to another continent as I've never done it before.

My condolences, sir. Have fun on the road trip...that harkens back to the summer after I turned 21...very good memories.
