Woman uses tape to trick biometric airport fingerprint scan

Woman uses tape to trick biometric airport fingerprint scan:

While governments and airports (amongst others) continue to push boldly into our sci-fi style future where biometrics-R-everywhere, it would appear that not only are the systems rubbish (no surprise there then) but you can already buy kits to help you get past them.

In this instance the woman brought some tape that had someone elses fingerprints on and got through the scanner no problem – has anyone else watched Diamonds Are Forever recently 😉
