But the worst part is that the persons who are being scanned by this system have absolutely no way of protecting their biometric data. There are no restrictions by the law as to how long those fingerprints can be stored. To imagine what bad things could happen with high-quality scans of my fingerprints makes me sick. The system is unrealiable.

And ya Mythbusters did something similar to this. They took a fingerprint, enlarged a scan of it on a computer, printed the scan, then red-defined the edges using a sharpie, then shrunk it back down and created a gelatin-ish mold from that. It worked well. Thats crazy. And ya Mythbusters did something similar to this.
