Well it depends, how desperate somebody wants to get into the computer
room, e.g would they be willing to cut off your hand or pull out your
eyeball.
I would think that finger prints would be the best. It is considerably
cheaper then a retinal scanning equipment.

Hello list!

   I will work in a project where phisical security will be based on
   biometrics, in fact only will be based on fingerprints biometric.

   How secure are fingerprints?, what biometric are more secure? (voice,
   eye, ??? what else).

   I'm not a security expert :-)

   Thanks a lot,

   Felix
