I imagine that a hacker who altered the gov fingerprint files would be sadly disapointed.
Once they arrest you, they print you and run them. Your prints don't match the ones on file. Oops. You go free.
We have plenty of examples where people were arrested because the matched name, date of birth and who knows what else and still go the wrong person. There was one in the paper last year.
A good hacker can already insert a false record. The addition of biometrics will not change that too much.
