LaCie introduces biometric access drive

Today LaCie introduced the Safe Mobile Hard Drive with fingerprint access. To gain access to the drive's contents, the user just swipes his/her finger across the incorporated scanner to unlock the drive's contents. The voodoo that allows this to work is embedded into the drive itself, so nothing needs to be installed onto the host computer.

My only two questions are, first, will Apple ever adopt this technology and, more importantly, will we get The Six Million Dollar Man in our ads, too?
