I would not trust most biometric access-control products that are
available yet. If you can read german (or you know somebody who can)
there was a very interessting test made by german computer-magazine
"c't". They tested different biometric products and all failed, e.g. are
very easy to fool.

The article is at: http://www.heise.de/ct/02/11/114/default.shtml

But it's only available in german.
