Hello Stuart 
You can defeat some figure print security systems with a Gummy Bear.  Take an imprint of you finger on a heated gummy bear.  Take an impression of your finger and put it on the finger reader.   This has been done on mainy finger systems.   I personally used to program biometric hand readers
