Unsupervised, all the biometric systems I'm aware of are just not all
that hard to work around and defeat. Thus you need human supervision at
the point of use. Given that, you might as well just drop the biometric
thing in favour of a card and PIN, and a person who visually identifies
everyone using these to gain access to whatever is being protected.
