Comment 16 for bug 216697

I don't really know if this is the right place to discusss it.

@Grzegorz: There are a lot of ways to cheat a fingerprint-scanner with stuff everybody has at home (plus graphit spray) in spite of 'life detection' is getting better. The German computer magazine c't has a (German) article about this in its actual edition (12 - http://www.heise.de/ct/ ). Of course the attacker needs your fingerprint, so it's a good idea not to use the right forefinger if you're right hander but for example the left ring finger (or a toe ;-) ).
   BUT
@Robert: A working reader is much better as a bad password. Besides all this I can access all the data on my computer with a normal Knoppix boot-CD if my harddisk isn't encrypted. So everybody has to choose himself.
