[hencdqdu] Abusing a biometric database

Given access to a large biometric database, it becomes a lot easier to find people who look alike, where "look" means the features stored in the database, which could include appearance but other features too.  This capability can almost certainly be abused, which is worrying, because only large powerful organizations can field or have access to large biometric databases.

Hire someone who looks like someone else to commit a crime, to thwart eyewitness identification.
