I have a "smart" phone. Perhaps you have one too. It has a biometric i d feature, a fingerprint detector . Apple presumably sank zillions into this little feature, and they are among the world's experts at this sort of thing. It is so frustratingly unreliable that I completely abandoned even trying to get the danged thing to work after owning the cellphone for a few months.

Might this be an example the complete and totally unreliable (alleged) technology what Mister Obama is calling "smart" and angling for firearms?

My Samsung smart phone has a thumb scan that worked once in 1 month. Idea sounds good, but, it does not work reliably. Liberals like the idea, but, care nothing about the result.

That's kinda weird. I use mine all the time, and it works pretty reliably. Do you have a weird case on yours? I know mine wouldn't work when I had one of those bulky cases on it. I've heard similar complaints though, so you are not alone. Perhaps the individual sensors are bad? Could also be that different people have different electrical potentials in their skin. I could see that causing an issue.
