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

More likely in real life a dirty/greasy finger leaving a print on the
sensor.

According to my Motorola phone handbook their fingerpring sensors use
the (IR?) pattern of subcutneous capillary blood vessels rather than the
actual fingerprints, which would be hard to duplicate without the
correct, living finger.
