Interesting timing with this follow up JEIDDO article:

"Johnson said the biometric and forensic capabilities that have and continue to be learned on the battlefields of the Global War on Terror has helped to identify who makes and uses IEDs.
This intelligence has proved useful on the US’s Southwest border, where biometric information collected from foreign battlefields identified at least one suspected terrorist trying to enter the country, Homeland Security Today previously reported.
“The inevitable next fight is somewhere in our future,” Johnson said, and “We must be able to rapidly posture for that fight. We must continue to lean forward and stay abreast of how our enemies are using IEDs and what new tactics and technologies they are employing. This will allow us to develop the capabilities to defeat the IED, the tactics to attack enemy networks and train our forces so they are prepared for the IED environments we will face in the future.”
And it will help to identify terrorists who might try to enter the US, or, if more IEDs are detonated on US soil, help to identify the terrorists responsible."
