After being at war for several years, the United States has created new and improved identification methods used in the battlefield. One of the new pieces of equipment developed is the HIIDE™ system. HIIDE is an acronym for Hand-held Interagency Identity Detection Equipment and is a biometric identification database through which soldiers can quickly input and access the registered citizens within Iraq. Family Security Matters reported that there were two type of people that are primarily targeted for input into the biometric system: suspected insurgents, and Iraqi law enforcement personnel.
