I believe that fingerprint readers can be fooled with either a latex impression or a dead finger.

Some devices can the cheaper ones. But why are we seucuring the door from others is the important thing here, and it;s not like no one has ever gained access without the correct key to any place, it;s just what effort you need to take to eliminate such a thing and in most cases I doubt many people carry a dead finger around with them, or have access to the latex and a suitable finger.
Face recognicion is another option, I've heard in the USA they are looking into guns that can only be fired after face recogniction has been used.
I'm expecting some idiot to blow their own face off.
