biometric is a very long password you don't have to remember,
but it's difficult to change when disclosed.
one may attack the connection between the authentication software
and the biometric sensor, say a Windows device driver, to record
and feed the password.
so you need someone to monitor the process using a certificated
device. may be a good idea for police or immigration officers.
(don't forget to lick her finger to remove any coating first).
