US military device containing biometric data sells on eBay for $68

A U.S. military device containing a biometric database recently sold on eBay for $68, plus shipping and handling. According to the New York Times, researchers in Germany bought the Secure Electronic Enrollment Kit, or SEEK II.

Inside the device was a memory card containing the names, nationalities, photographs, fingerprints and iris scans of more than 2600 people. Most of the people identified on the database live or lived in Iraq and Afghanistan. The device was last used in Kandahar in 2012.

Many of the people in the database were known terrorists, but not all. Some of the individuals identified on the database assisted the U.S. military during the War on Terror. Several U.S. service members also had their biometric data stored on the device, likely the result of training.
