Agreed. Sophisticated enough not to have to steal your lap top to get what they want. Unless combined with full disc encryption finger print readers are likely just as secure as pins for the purpose of securing your laptop. Lets make at least a minimal attempt to keep this thread on track. It has nothing at all to do with identity theft. It is concerned with biometric security on a computer, laptop or otherwise. Pins, passwords and readers are first line defenses only. Once they have your laptop you are screwed. Until you cough up the money for full disk encryption it makes no sense to get all hot and bothered about finger print readers. http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/products/laptops/momentus/momentus_5400_fde.2/ -- _____________________________________ John Andersen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
