Ant Allen ought to do his homework before making gross generalizations about "biometrics". As with all emerging technologies, there are both god and bad products, good and bad implementations. To say that all biometrics - finger is one of many - or even that all finger scan biometrics - they come in various flavors: optical, silicon, ultrasound, etc wth offerings from a range of vendors - do not work demonstrates a lack of understanding of the current state of the industry. I am an independent biometric industry analyst and have confidence that given well defined requirements for a specific environment, biometrics may or may not be an appropriate component of an IT security solution. but ought not to be dismissed outright.
