Story: Medical fears may hamper acceptance of biometrics

A lot of these biometric systems give al false sence of security and can easily be hacked. Especialy with home computers. You can plug an iris scanner into your computer get access to online services.
But a hacker can install a program that intercepts a scan and later fakes the iris scan and get access. If you were using a password then you can change that, but your iris cannot change, so if someone puts your iris profile on the internet you loose all security.
The same can be said for voice recognition, dna scanning, finger print...
