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

I said this several years ago... that this could most likely be done. I roll my eyes at all this crap...

Bringing new meaning to the phrase, "He gave me the finger."

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.
