I saw this showing on Discovery and thought it was funny as hell that a photo copy of the finger print worked.

What a POS, no way is that thing as "advanced" as the company claimed.

Seems they didn't even test it before releasing it.

I liked that episode. That manufacturer sounded a little dumb.

Well, there's one advertizing claim that got shot down in flames.

Reminds me of a part in Disgaea 2.
"We're invincible! Nobody has ever beaten us!"
*you whoop thier asses*
"You're not invincible"
"That was our debut match, now we will go off and talk about the one fighter to defeat us!"

Yeah, that was pretty funny. The only thing I can think is that the company's claim refers to the keypad lock + fingerprint scanner, not just the scanner.

 

[ForumMaster]

the stupid thing is that the photocopy worked without the heart pulse. what kind of stupid thing is that?

 

[spacejamz]

it won't be funny when people start getting their fingers chopped off jack baeur style by thieves to open these locks...

Probably a bogus claim. Someone should analyze the circuitry. It's probably as legit as that killer nic thing that came out. :Q

God I can't wait to play that game once I come home. I can't believe the photocopy worked. I should remember this so then I don't have to cut off the other person's hand. Much tidier.

Not to thread crap, but I doubt Keefer sotheland was the 1st one to do it on screen.

Wesley Snipes used that guy's eyeball in Demolition Man.

Yep that was a great episode, they also put a whole bunch of other high tech security devices to shame.

The real scopes have a ball that moves in a bowtie pattern that you're supposed to follow with your eyes. If someone attacked the authorized person with a fork and removed their eyeballs they would not be able to pass the test.

you are probably right, but I figured using a Jack Baeur reference would please over over 3/4 of AT...

There's no what the eye ball would be intact like it was in that Movie.
Eyes don't come out of the socket that easy or cleanly.
