50USD? What could possibly be the value of those iris scans? I don't get it.

The bulk collection contains patterns.

How much iris variation (within that population) exists, are there any repeats (or repeats below threshold), is there any correlation between (say) iris pattern categories and facial pattern categories, etc.

Someone may think these are useful questions and this may be the first of many such data collection actions about the globe.
