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

The best of them cant be and facial recognition is even better
with the best of those. Works in the dark too surprisingly enough.

problem with face recognition for operation purposes is the number of
false
negatives

I had to join a queue of 30 people at LHR last week because the ePasspiort
gate had rejected us


You/they may not have been rejected because of face recognition
though. I always got rejected with my old passport and thought it
would all be sorted when I got a new passport with a new photo, but
no. I queried the immigration office about this and she checked and
advised that my name is a (near) match for some undesirables and next
time to not waste my time queuing for the automatics but just request
to be put straight through to the officers.

I've walked through unimpeded several times before
