Hacking Biometrics with a Knife

A finger scanner

It would seem a lot of governments and organizations are now marching towards having all of us use our eyes and fingers as our identification. The reasoning is that each person would be born with an ID that’s both integrated and unique.

This seems like a ridiculous plan that ignores not only the injured, who may not have these assets, but also a scenario that is a little frightening. Today when you get mugged, you lose your wallet. Tomorrow, you may lose a finger.
