      Yes. Biometric data is a unique pattern for certain biological features. Fingerprints are an easy one, the retina is another. These are relatively simple 3D projections onto a 2D surface. The distances between pattern landmarks are recorded as the biometric data.

      This is facial recognition at most. Facial recognition is flawed, as it isn’t a 3D projection onto a 2D surface, it is a 3D projection estimated from a 2D image.

      Without the actual distance measurements and ratios, there is no “biometric signature.” It could be done, but like I said, you’d need 3D cameras, and phones are not capable of processing that.

        I hear you. But this is the government, he’s probably using a government device. Not a samsung or apple off the shelf.
