I know that these programs are popular, but how many children are actually identified by their fingerprints every year? I assume that for a child to be identified this way it has to be either dead or unconscious. How many dead or unconscious kids would be identified this way that could not be identified by other means? Assuming that the general case is that there could be identification by other means, then what makes this superior or faster?

Or maybe the scans are to prevent terrorists from kidnapping children and replacing them with duplicates. who will kill their 'parents' in the middle of the night.
