It will. The simple arrangment of poping up a photo on the id device is good enough. A spoofer can spoof the finger print on his finger, but cannot spoof the pic in your pc. It is assumed that there is no access to your pic database, no method to enrol masqurede's print and there are no hostile enrollers. From this simple scenario one can see the glaring loopholes in the IT dept scheme. Add something like Mr.Blunkett's (UK home dept minister) universal mandatory id which can be used as evidence in a criminal court and u can be sure of very interesting times. -- Rgds JTD -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
