What a load of rubbish, look steve if someone at the check in says says "put your finger here" how is playing something going to affect it? it can't now ways, they will have a system designed not to be interfered with.

"Biometrics are not the be-all and end-all."

Yes they bloddy are!!

"In addition, it is actually possible to steal a fingerprint off a bottle - Charlies Angels style"

Jesus H Christ, what kind of a security expert are you, I don't watch Charlies Angel's and for your information the fingers have to have blood flowing through them, biometric scans can be taken of the vein arrangement in ones hand.

Also blood has to be pumping through the eye for a retinal scan, unlike in the film Demolition Man with wesley snipes and Sly Stalone where he took the guys eye out and stuck it on a pen, no mate its doesn't work like that.
