The days of using credit cards or paper money are coming to an end. I have waited anxiously for the time when fingerprint technology would start to become mainstream in society. Not only will it reduce the need to print up money, as time goes on, but it will also alleviate fraud for people who choose to use this system.

Duplicating another's fingerprint and fooling a biometric scanner is a simple process that any high-school student could do. It's been proven better than 50% effective too.
The technology isn't up to protecting my bank account yet.

I just pray the thugs force my finger up to the pay device.
And let me keep my digit.
Otherwise, I do like the advance in use of biometrics.

Customers can pay with cash, plastic or their index finger at a new Coast to Coast Family Convenience store here.
Ironic considering how often Art Bell has had folks railing against this sort of thing on Coast to Coast AM.
Are we sure Art is in the Phillipines? Maybe that's just what he wants us to think!
