"Watch where you leave your fingerprints - soon they could be the target of thieves looking to break into your bank account. Although biometric security systems - using fingerprints, iris scans and facial recognition - are only just now entering the mainstream, they are likely to be common within a few years. And as soon as biometrics begin to be used to protect bank accounts or benefit systems, crooks will start looking at ways of breaking into them."

"Biometric identity systems, until a few years ago the stuff of science fiction, are now hitting the big time in the real world. All exploit the fundamental physical differences between human beings - whether in the form of the ridges on our fingers, the way we walk or even the way we speak - to identify individuals. They're at the heart of the government's ID cards plans and are already being used in airport security systems."
