Wierd req from boss
-
My boss wants me to add a function in the customer sign up that checks a database against wanted terrorists and their alias names they are using. Anyone know if there is a public database to query for names and photos.

Right, what the boss seems to want to achieve is unachievable, and therefore a waste of time and effort by the developers. Plus you'll wrongly accuse many innocent users and they'll go to a competitor's site instead.

Well the list is updated with all known aka names. I think my boss wants this as a sales pitch for the software. Purpose is to make it harder for someone to get the service if they are up to no good. Yes someone can be denied service, but the customer owning the software can opt to use this or not in the settings.

the question is not abt the list of ppl or whats happening in Europe or Interpol. Question is.. where have u specified the tables. You're just telling us, hey u guys my boss needs a list of terrorist and that... how in the world are we supposed to know where its gonna come from.

RockyC# My boss wants me to add a function in the customer sign up that checks a database against wanted terrorists and their alias names they are using. Anyone know if there is a public database to query for names and photos. this was more a call to the forums asking if they knew if there was a gov database for me to query out there. Alot of softwares uses this now and the chances a developer here on the forum had been in contact with it is high. So i see it as a good question for tips on where such public database could be.

But the user could perhaps create a new alias on the spot.

It finally occurred to me today that, were I a terrorist, I would check the list frequently. :)
