Those are great until you get near the age of 80. Then most of us have no finger prints, as we have worn the prints off.

Yesterday, at our wonderful DMV, I had 3 electronic fingerprints of my right index finger. None of them worked.

Retinal scans...hmm

Wonder what retinal scan test results of Barbra Streisand's cloned dogs would return?

I’m younger but the machines didn’t work on me, either. I can’t use an iPhone because it doesn’t register my swipe. I tried the “use your thumb to ID you” on my iPad. No joy.

I am hypothyroid and my temperature is lower than “normal”. If I get to 98.6°, I have a temperature!

Between that and a lot of hours wearing off my prints on a keyboard, the last time I needed fingerprinting, when the machine didn’t work, they tried ink and paper. That wouldn’t produce clear prints either. They had to put some drops on my fingers that would raise the ridges, and then they could get prints.

They MUST have better machines now! In cop shows, they fingerprint corpses, so temperature must no longer be an issue.
