I've posted on this specific hardware device before... yes, it's cool, but
the implementation leaves a lot to be desired.

What it does is to substitute a new gina.dll for msgina.dll.  This new gina
captures the fingerprint, compares it and then retrieves your stored domain
password from the hard drive (security/encryption of same unspecified) and
invokes the original msgina.dll with that value.

Risks left to the imagination...

Seimen's makes a mouse that uses finger print identification.  There is a
program that use the mouse and does network and application sign on.  I have
tested it in a lab but do not user it.  Pretty cool toys but I have no idea
how well it works on a day to day basis.

So check out Seimen's website for their biometric mouse.  It should get you
started.
