Using your finger to buy things.

A German Supermarket chain is going to be allowing their customers to buy things by putting their finger in the barometric scanner and then charging it to the matching account.

Only a matter of time before they did this.... IMO

Its the most effective way to combat Credit Card Fraud

I think , if incoperated with retina scanning, it would be almost foolproof

I think there would be more fraud that way then with just normal credit cards. It would be so easy for someone to pick up something you touched, copy that finger print, and go on a shopping spree?

Im guessing they will hold it out for you to place your finger on?

So that kind of stuff wont happen.......
