Brice Hortefeux: "I said WHAT?"
In French, empreintes digitales means a database of finger prints, and empreintes genetiques is a database of DNA records.

They are terms with which the country's Interior Minister, Brice Hortefeux, is familiar.


He is much more familiar with them since a media interview yesterday when he did a word mix and match and came up with emprientes genitales.

That's a database of genital prints.

We don't know the French word for "headline", but Monsieur Hortefeux does - he's appeared in plenty of them today.
