11 MILITARY POLICE . 19-15-1 of data allows investigators to overcome those limits. Au- tomated biometrics—particularly when used in conjunction with mobile devices—provide troops in the feld with access to records from multiple, databases in mere min- utes. The speed of the automated biometric process enables ap- plication to other felds where quick responses are expected, such as the feld of access control. For example, common access cards (CACs) are confgured to store biometric sig- natures, making biometric applications of CACs possible. Biometric access systems are already in use in the National Capital Region. 7 Beyond mere convenience, the feld of biometrics can also be used to increase the level of assurance that a subject is who he or she claims to be. In broad terms, identity can be proven by something that the subject has, something that the subject knows, or something that the subject is. Logging on to a computer using a CAC and a personal identifcation number (PIN) meets the frst two qualifcations; however, identity assurance can be compromised if the user leaves the CAC inserted and walks away from the computer, allowing someone else an opportunity to gain access. Biometric au- thentication provides far greater identity assurance due to its reliance on unique physical characteristics. In the con- texts of law enforcement and warfghting, this method in- creases the certainty that the right people are detained or released. DFBA sometimes serves as the critical interagency link in catching individuals who are listed on the biometric watch list. In 2013, fve members of the transnational gang Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13), including two held for murder, escaped from prison in El Salvador where the Federal Bureau of Investigation had been assisting with biometric enrollment since 2011. Three of the escapees were quickly apprehended, but the two convicted murderers eluded capture. On 26 December 2013, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Department of Homeland Security, personnel apprehended a group of 17 individuals in Falfurrias, Texas. They compared the individuals' biometrics against multiple U.S. government databases and identifed the two MS-13 escapees using ABIS. The subjects were subsequently detained for U.S. legal action and eventually extradited to El Salvador.
