CAPTCHA Aside: Fingerprints fade with age

I learned this anecdotaly yesterday. It was news to me that many adult
fingerprints can become less and less readable as people age. The
following page cites some credible sources:

I'm yet unsure what effect, if any, this will have on our CAPTCHA draft.
Fortunately, my anecdote reporters seemed content with facial
recognition alternatives.

Best,

Janina
