Comments on: Supermarket: Let your fingers do the paying

"How would you like to pay--credit card or fingerprint?" Seattle-area store sets up biometric scanner at checkouts.

I can't wait to submit DNA for a box of crackers.

One guy drove 400 miles to use this? Bullsh*t.

Diamonds are forever

This will last until someone gets the idea from watching their DVD of the James Bond film "Diamonds are Forever" that making counterfit fingertips from model glue can be a profitable hobby...

Lets All Overreact!

OH MY GOD

They're all going to shave us like lab monkeys and start taking
fluid samples at random just so I can buy my groceries!!!!?!?!?
THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!!!

Also this makes EVERYONE give their credit card information out
randomly to ANYONE who might want to go into the store! Also
ANYONE in the store can access your credit card information
with one of those fake crawly zombie hands that THE VERY SAME
STORE sells on halloween!!!!

OH MY GAWD

someone call jesus and the pope, technology is turning us into
ant-slaves. ALL BECAUSE WE ARE LAZY.

Get ready for someone to take over your bank account!

Not my fingers!

Though, I think the technology behind "Biometrics" is really cool, what happens when "Joe" the stalker cuts your fingers off, and uses them to for his purchases? You are out your digits, and of money. Makes it hard to dial 911.
