Re: Real Security systems

Any security system can be circumvented with enough determination and effort. Beating the PIN out of a victim is a darned sight easier than fabricating a false fingerprint. I've not heard of a single instance where Apple's fingerprint reader has been put to criminal use, probably for this reason.
