Are you looking to bypass a security system that is based on a fingerprint sensor? Want to avoid the fuss and bother of loping off someone’s finger?…(a gang of car thieves in Malaysia used just that technique back in 2005).
Well then, the Mythbusters have a work-around solution for you. The popular-science duo has apparently fooled an apparently foolproof biometric-based sec device by the simple expedient of using a photocopy of someone’s fingerprint. YouTube has the video.

I hope that finger-lopping thing isn’t going to become common if biometric locks become popular.
That’s why you should always be wary of products whose manufacturers use absolutes like “unbeatable” to describe them.
