10 bucks to beat a million-dollar system ... typical.
I guess nothing's more secure than a 'mark of the beast' chip insert, for ID purposes. </sarcasm off

Quality readers sense the temperature and pulse of the finger to make use of a fake more difficult. If higher security is wanted, a guard should be employed to make sure that the fingers are real.
Iris scan readers can also flash a light and measure how the pupil diameter changes in response.

We had a 'touch pad' type mouse for a while. I liked it fine, except if my hands were the least bit dry, or wet. If I had really dry skin, the touch pad wouldn't read my finger movements. If I had just washed my hands or used hand lotion, the touch pad wouldn't read my finger movements. That is what I heard about the fingerprint reading machines at Kroger Grocery stores. They have them already, but they can't read your finger/thumbprint if you have really dry skin. These things will never be foolproof!
And you are right, ten bucks to fool a million dollar machine.
