What this youtube video does not show, is how they lifted the fingerprint from a drinking glass Grant used. The method of transfer was to lift it using transparent tape then solidify it with vaporized superglue. Then the print copy was darkened using (i believe) graphite. It was then put on a xerox for enlargement and a ballistics gel clone was produced by tracing the lines of the print. <br><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZyFXCPpp-k" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZyFXCPpp-k</a><br><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/22/digital-fingerprint-door-lock-defeated-by-photocopied-print/" rel="nofollow">http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/22/digital-fingerprint-door-lock-defeated-by-photocopied-print/</a>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[I LOVE THE CAPS LOCK KEY]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 24th 2007 8:18PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ATRD M10 offers fingerprint scanning for your car]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/24/atrd-m10-offers-fingerprint-scanning-for-your-car/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/24/atrd-m10-offers-fingerprint-scanning-for-your-car/</guid><description><![CDATA[Do you think a thief would know that?

This device interfaces with the car's immobilizer system either in or 'under' the dash to retrict fuel/spark until it receives the correct print.  Then using an 'interface module' it provides an actual binary code to the immobilizer module just like a key-coded ignition, say in a GM vehicle.  So shorting any wires would render the car undrivable.  And there are no external wiring modifications.  This is more than just starter kill.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[psychodad1961]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 25th 2007 10:56AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ATRD M10 offers fingerprint scanning for your car]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/24/atrd-m10-offers-fingerprint-scanning-for-your-car/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/24/atrd-m10-offers-fingerprint-scanning-for-your-car/</guid><description><![CDATA[You can send my $20 to psychodad1961@paypal  ;-)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[psychodad1961]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 25th 2007 10:59AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ATRD M10 offers fingerprint scanning for your car]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/24/atrd-m10-offers-fingerprint-scanning-for-your-car/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/24/atrd-m10-offers-fingerprint-scanning-for-your-car/</guid><description><![CDATA[Check that.
