Re: Useless
"So how do you get a fingerprint scan if you insert the card into a cash machine, petrol station, or vending machine slot?"
You DON'T. As the article notes, it's not meant for those kinds of transactions, which is why the sensor is located in an area normally covered by those kinds of readers. They're meant for PIN Pad terminals at sales counters where there are people present to watch you. Dead fingerprints would be obvious and even gummy prints would be risky.
