Latex Fingerprints
(Diamonds Are Forever)
Gadget: Latex Fingerprints
Movie: Diamonds Are Forever
Owner: James Bond
Status: Used
The stick on latex fingerprints could be moulded to match anyone's
fingerprints. The devices could be attached to one's fingertips,
and simply peeled off and thrown away.
Use
When Bond took on the role of diamond smuggler Peter Franks,
it had to be completely accurate, thus the Q-Branch development
of the latex fingerprints. On meeting Tiffany Case, she filled
Bond's drink, after finishing it, she took it to the back room
of her flat, and ran a fingerprint check, to make sure it was
Peter Franks. The devices worked flawlessly.
Specs
Small, fingertip sized textured latex stickers, they were manufactured
by getting a fingerprint texture stamped onto the latex sheeting,
while it was hot, it then set, and could be stuck on using some
weak glue.
