Fingerprints can't be copied?
Surely you jest?
Many methods are available, and it's already been done. Use google - you'll find insidents where this technology was fooled by a copied print.
Ever seen Gattaca?
Heck, it can me done with products from a hobby-shop or any glue/chemical/fiberglass shop.
FAR WORSE is the thought of being mugged.
Instead of your wallet being stolen, the mugger will carry tin-snips for your fingers!
I'd rather have that lump in my back-pocket - thank-you-very-much. I like having fingers.
