'here are far too many ways to collect fingerprint, facial and DNA data'

Yeah, and another essential part of any lock / key system is the ability to change the lock, if you know that someone has been to Timpson's and had a duplicate key cut. Assuming that it's possible to spoof someone's face / fingerprints / dna.... How can i rescind any of that stuff when it's comprised? Plastic surgery? Using a stanley knife to adorn my fingerprints? Some kind of DNA editing? None of them seem like particularly pleasant options to me.
