What I don't get is if you use the gummi bear to copy your print wouldn't it be a reverse image and shouldn't the scanner realize that?
You might take the print negative on one gummi bear (or more plausibly a headlong slice of a gummi bear), freeze it hard in the freezer, and then use that to imprint a positive copy on a room temperature slice of gummi bear. Just surmising. I never was comfortable with the “pay by finger touch” systems. That would provide a new incentive for a thief to steal your finger.
Future freedom fighters - well, maybe. But I love a good rebel against big brother.
The very idea that they are using fingerprint scanners is an outrage. This kind of heavy handed fascist sh!t has got to stop!!! They are wasting taxpayers money in tough times to verify school attendance, meanwhile they are brainwashing children into thinking that being tracked by biometrics is okay and acceptable. here’s an idea.. A teacher takes a roll call at class... if a child is not there, they are marked as being absent. But it’s not really about attendance, is it? It is about brainwashing!!!
another easy way is take an imprint using clear scotch tape and a dirty finger. If heart rate or blood flow are an issue just wrap it around your finger and poke some holes in it so it can read your pulse ox.
people find a way
I recently had a part time job that used a finger scanner to punch the time clock. Darn thing worked about 20% of the time.
OVER RIDE!
You have to love adults trying to wrangle kids with technology only to find that the kids defeat their technology with. . . GUMMI BEARS!!! LOLOLOL

JOB TITLE OF THE YEAR
Soon to attend public schools the government will want kids fingerprints, DNA samples, and will use 3D full body scanners on them daily. Once someone's fingerprints and DNA security credentials are stolen, they can't order new ones from the factory.
If you've got a digital image of the fingerprint, you can make a mold pretty easily. I've got some special paper for laser printers that's used for making pc boards that would work. It's like the T-shirt iron-on paper. Print it off with a laser printer, then iron it onto a piece of copper sheet. The iron re-melts the toner and it sticks to the copper, acting as an acid resist. Mask the rest of the copper with some paint and then etch. Clean off the paint and toner, and you have a fingerprint mold.
Uh, if I read this correctly, they used gelatin, not gummi bears. They just call it that because gummi bears happen to contain gelatin. What a bunch of hyperbole.
ha ha ha haha ha ha ha ah aha hah ah ha
oh my dog I LOVE kids
That is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ironic. In 1985, the great Ferris Bueller himself couldn’t bypass the Shermer High Schoo/Ben Stein method of attendance verification. Today, it’s simply gummy bears ...that were in my pocket...want one? They’re warm and soft...
That gummy bear you just ate just picked up God knows what from the scanner. You don't know where the previous finger has been or what it was touching..........
One gummy bear for the entire school!
