Measures used nowadays in court to identify faces -- photogrammetry, superimposition and anthroscopy

Face changes with age and differently for each sex. Nostrils are very good landmarks. Ear lobes are the measure that has the most variance. In any age range, females have more generous lips.

Company in Florida giving the police a face profile based on SNPs tagging facial differences on a sample of 200 people (own emploees). Narrows down the profiles police force need to look for.

Oragene saliva sample should last for 1 year. Sampling then correlating with faces. Cool 3D model of faces done by interpolating 8 1Mpx pictures, called geometrix facevision.
