The one thing that the use of barcode or magnetic strip can't do is tell you that the person timing in/out using is the actual supposed person. It could be anybody. If you don't have that kind of situation in your area or don't really want to address it, but just to speed up the timing in/out process, then barcode-/magstrip-based id's will do just fine.

I don't know if it's the rule, but all the barcode scanners I've seen just hijack the PS/2 keyboard cable and so they send the codes as if you've typed them on the keyboard, albeit a lot faster. This thread has also got me thinking I should just use this approach instead of biometric (is that the right term) scanners. Mhac Janapin wrote: > LOL!
