Some devices can the cheaper ones. But why are we seucuring the door

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.


And possible after all the electronic security the interlock will be a
simple relay contact that can be bypassed with a bit of wire.

Yes, like they do on star trek and other such things
where they use brut force to rip off the keybad
consule and then join a couple of wires together.

Trivial to design it so that cant work.


The law abiding will use the face recognition while the criminal
fraternity and US kids "borrowing" firearms will look on Youtube and
find the bypass.

or find an easier target.
I;m not sure how often this sort of thing gets bypassed.


Much like the popular home safes with an electronic keypad where the
lock relay can be defeated simply by placing a magnet in the top left
corner of the door to trigger the relay.

My dad had two of those, where he kept spare cash, which amounted to
nearly £500
He used his DoB as the combination.
