      Identification != Authentication

      As obvious as this sounds, I’ve learned over the years that most people don’t understand what it means exactly.

        Stolen? LOL fingerprints cannot be stolen. Stealing is taking away something from someone.

        They are not protected, they are not copyrighted, they don’t go away from you when someone copies them …

        You leave them everywhere, every day.

        Fingerprints are public knowlege.
