Due to the massive search and rescue mission in NOLA body recovery got shoved aside and then it appears f--ed up and forgotten.
We have systems for cataloging everything why not this.
Something that is scannable and unique that can be attatched to a bodies scattered without the person having to handle or recover the body. Anyone in the party could quickly input the information and if the body was already tagged the scanner info would come up and eliminate duplcations.
(If they do one of the walmart deals you could even do a radio scan for the bodies if they somehow were disappearing.
It would say (if available) name, sex, age(any guess is better than none), race, GPS of body location or location by address or intersection. That would have created a list for retreival AND it would allow you to know if the body you are passing today is the body you passed 4 weeks ago two blocks over or a new one. It would have been a whole lot easier to do it 4 weeks ago. Dmort can only process 140 bodies a day that is going to take months at this rate and the bodies get worse by the day. (they seemed to have misplaced a few thousand in the personnel change over last week).
BTW a Duer posted today that friends just returned from NOLA report bodies still in standing water. They did a better job of body recovery and identification for the Titanic than they did with all our technology in 2005.
(I believe that either the media needs to get on this now and we need an investigation or the families need to file suit to release records and force those who have been sworn to silence by contract and privacy laws about their part in this are allowed to legally speak. It costs a small fortune to prove someone dead without a body.)
