Of course a biometric can be stolen. All you need to do is record the information coming out the other end of the computer with the biometric scanner. When you're asked for your fingerprint, just play that information back. Simple.
Biometrics are not the be-all and end-all.
In addition, it is actually possible to steal a fingerprint off a bottle - Charlies Angels style - although I somehow doubt they'd grow a whole hand from it.... I can't remember who did the demonstration now though.
