I think you may have missed the point of the first paragraph of the article...the security additions are for ONLINE customers, therefore there isn't going to be anyone saying "put your finger here".

"the fingers have to have blood flowing through them".

I was unaware that blood has to be flowing through the fingers.

"biometric scans can be taken of the vein arrangement in ones hand"

"can" or must? I would imagine that if it is a cost thing then if a unit has to be supplied to customers of on-line banks for use in the home, the banks will go for the cheaper option, like the Microsoft fingerprint keyboard. However even Microsoft state "The Fingerprint Reader should not be used for protecting sensitive data such as financial information or for accessing corporate networks"
