What about eye iris scans? Someone can cut your fingers off but cutting your eyes off? I imagine that the gelatinous nature of eye matter would make it very hard if not impossible to remove the eye to hold it in front of a scanner for an accurate reading.
Well in the movie they always cut off the whole head then.. (dunno if it's working or not, anyway I'd prefer to stay with my head ;D ).
Yah...
The problem is not only using some body part that will not work if "removed", but making sure that the bad guys knows it will not work. You see, they may remove for eye or your head, only to find out it doesn't give them access - but you are none the better!
Thus, I'm against biometric security.
You bought the story? For one that is ready to kill, would be easier to force someone to give the money using a threat than to go long way to cut off body part and find the way to buypass security? The stories like this are useful for guys that would like to have money by stealing easy to guess passwords, and biometric will make their lives harder. It is easy apply and many of present "customers" will all of the sudden have strong authentication that is not easy to guess. -- Regards, Rajko. http://en.opensuse.org/Portal -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
