Faking is not only of biometrics but also of documents. Whom would you put to correct that. Nooo wait we already do document vetting at the reg phase for passport, pancard, driver lic, ration card, etc etc etc. So if you require to do all of that and add even more money and manpower for yet another wonderfully broken idea to correct a broken system, for which we will use DNA, , to prevent faking of which we will use micro-bio-chemist. You get the drift of this farce. And the bigger farce known as deduplication. And the scientifically unproven "uniquness". And the faking during auth (id theft). The simple simon biometrics idea comes from c grade movies and is a common false myth across all societies. BUT it should not be the case with engineers. Especially when blowing public money. -- http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
