A major privacy group has filed a lawsuit against the FBI to force the
bureau to release all relevant documents about its plan to share a
huge amount of biometric information with the Department of Defense.
The lawsuit filed by EPIC (Electronic Privacy Information Center)
concerns the FBI's Next Generation Identification (NGI) system, which
comprises fingerprint, iris scan, and facial recognition data, and the
bureau has been using it for several years... EPIC's lawsuit asks that
the FBI be forced to release records about the plan to share NGI data
with the Department of Defense under the Freedom of Information Act.
EPIC filed a FOIA request about the plan last year and though the FBI
said it has located 35 pages of records that are responsive to the
request, it hasn't released any of those records.
