Photo detail

Corporal Patrick Smichgali demonstrates how to identify a particular fingerprint between the loop (65 percent of the population), the whirl (30 percent) and the arch, only 5 percent. "The kids choose a finger, press it on the inked fingerprint pad and then press it on a balloon. Then they blow up the balloon and it reveals the pattern of the print."
