You might as well get them to go with you to wherever you need access and stick their finger into the system. If you had access to the person long enough to take a mold of their finger, you could probably do other things with them, such as ransom them, force them to perform sexual favors, tickle them until they told you every piece of their electronic information library, etc.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hawk]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 2:38AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Play-Doh fingers can fool 90% of scanners, sez Clarkson U. study]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/12/11/play-doh-fingers-can-fool-90-of-scanners-sez-clarkson-u/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/12/11/play-doh-fingers-can-fool-90-of-scanners-sez-clarkson-u/</guid><description><![CDATA[Actually latent fingerprints have been an issue for along time.
