I wouldn't use this, but there might be cases, where it is secure enough,
e.g. for access control, and it might reduce the support costs of a firm
(no forgotten PINs, etc.). My suggestion is to look what is happening
at the biometric technology and see if something really useful is
emerging. And playing a bit with finger print scanners can also be fun. :)
