Finger Print Security Systems: are they reliable?

September 18, 2006 | In: General

So, I will ask again: are finger print security systems reliable?

The answer is no according to Myth Busters. Watch the following video to see how they cracked up a two different finger print systems: one on a laptop, the other on a door lock.

They didn’t only use one technique, more like 3 ways of copying the fingerprint: latex copy, a ballistic gel and last but not least, a simple paper photocopy that also worked.
