Your VEINS, please...

Forget fingerprints, we will check your veins, carefully:

Wow, when I first looked at that picture, I thought it was taking a blood sample every time you wanted to access the door! That would SUCK!

Did not know that about the pattern of veins on the back of the hand. Pretty cool!

nah... chips are the future, get your chip to verify your not a terrorist.

Very nice idea, but no system is unbeatable

What was the movie where someone wanted to get through a secure area with optical recognition so ripped out the eye of someone authorised to enter ?

Yuck !

it should be combined with some sort of technology that could verify you were that person and was alive and not under threat ie hostage or something, also add in finger print or eye or some other verification tech with it.

Off the top of my head (and back of my hand)...

Insulin users and (a-hem) junkies might have some trouble with this.

The US already outlaws back of the hand tatoos as being 'dangerous'...since the vein system which serves as medicines best IV entry point is so easily damaged. Plus tats make it easy to hide needle entry points.

This seems like a stretch for an ID system, though I could see it being used to find changes in vein structure. You know, busting junkies.

Minority Report, wasn't it?

I haven't seen that, so it must have been something else - thanks for the info though
