Yes. Biometrics are known-bad, but the people pushing them seem determined to learn this the hard way. I often think they should be made to watch the relevant illustrative scene in "Demolition Man" [1] until they grasp why biometrics drastically increase the risk to personnel. (Of course, it's entirely possible that they've absorbed the lesson, but cynically -- and possibly correctly -- reason that since *they* won't be incurring the risk, that it's acceptable.) ---Rsk [1] I apologize to everyone for bringing up any film with Sylvester Stallone so early in the day. _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
