While running SniffUSB, the device and or the software got wedged and kept sending USB data until I unplugged the scanner. As a result I have something over a gig of data. Probably most of it bogus, or just scans of when my finger wasn't on it. The privacy issue is something I've thought about and I am pretty ambivalent about it. I would rather not have my fingerprint data out there for anyone to find. It's tempting to think of this project as having a small audience, but that doesn't prevent google from indexing it anyway. I'll name the data file generically and being gzipped should help obscure things.
