‘Jihadi John’ and the Future of the Biometrics Terror Hunt
A Kurdish security soldier is seen silhouetted as he walks by along queue of cars carrying Iraqi citizen fleeing from Mosul and other northern Iraqi towns, in the Khazer area between the Iraqi city of Mosul and the Kurdish city of Irbil, northern Iraq.About four hours away from Washington D.C. sits the headquarters of the FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services Division, or CJIS, which houses the bureau’s Biometric Center of Excellence. The center is not a place so much as a program begun in 2007 that plays a key role in making use of all the biometric data that comes into the FBI’s possession. That’s every fingerprint, every image, and every phone message that anyone sends to the FBI.
