Raytheon has come out with a RFID based identification card that incorporates a fingerprint scanner. The initial intent seems to be to incorporate it into a traveler's passport so that he/she can be easily scanned via the RFID at entry points and the fingerprint scanner validates his/her identity. It seems to me that this technology can easily be ported for computer security so that instead of having to type a password every time, you just have to scan your finger on the RFID badge to gain access to the data on your computer (assuming that the computer has a built-in RFID reader).
