The Electronic Frontier Foundation says that the FBI's new Next Generation Identification (NGI) system could hold up to 52 million photos by 2015, according to the BBC. For the first time, NGI will also combine criminal and noncriminal fingerprint databases, along with records of palm prints, iris scans and mugshots. The FBI say the database will help protect against terrorist and criminal activities.
According to the EFF, the system will be capable of processing 55,000 direct photo enrollments daily and of conducting tens of thousands of searches every day.
Of the data available, 46 million will come from criminal images, mugshots and the like, 4.3 million are "civil images" from other sources, 215,000 come from RISC, the Repository for Individuals of Special Concern. However, the FBI doesn't specify where the last million photos or so come from — 750,000 from the "Special Population Cognizant" category and 215,000 from "New Repositories."
