In the very early 1970s, professor Seneker, I believe, in the criminal justice department of Missouri Southern State College in Joplin, Missouri was able to recreate a person's fingerprints. The copies were of such a high degree that he was able to leave the prints at a fake crime scene and they weren't detected as being bogus by crime lab technicians. His work was reported in an issue of the college newspaper,The Chart.I don't have the exact date.

I never thought about the 'scene of the crime' issue, but your right.
I hope police departments will depend more on DNA rather than fingerprint evidence.
(It'll probably be about twenty years before anyone can fake DNA for only $10).

I'm sure I remember an old "Mission Impossible" episode that showed this technique ... very quick and brief camera shots ... in order to fool a high security system in Nouthern Mystovia (of course I made that up ... so did "Mission Impossible") for ... I forget the reason.

MI was on the cutting edge of spynology.
