I’m surprised the system isn’t programmed to raise a hullabaloo upon getting a “finger” that it does not recognize. That would discourage amateur system hackers in a hurry, because it’s either perfection the first time or be outed as a hacker.

The first problem is that the scanners used, en-masse, are not high quality, so false reads are common.

The second problem is that a dirty finger will surely result in a false read.

The third problem is this is a big waste of time and money when we are already over-paying teachers to perform this function!

I've dealt with supporting that technology. I hate it, and so usually, do the users that have to use it. It'd be going off on legitimate users right and left. Often times it doesn't recognize fingers that it *does* have on file.

Have a built in Taser. When the kid is flopping on the floor like a fish, everyone know WHO the hacker is. LOL
