    And I thought that biometric forensics was challenging. At least we don’t come out with a new model of a finger every year.

    While I can see why the digital forensics folks don’t want to certify people to a static standard, the agile nature of digital forensics knowledge presents a challenge with our 18,000 police agencies and multitude of courts. How can any court know that the testimony aligns with the latest digital forensics knowledge?
