And less invasive. Keep in mind that with retina scanner you can scan the veins in the back of the eye - which touches medical concerns.

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?
