Biometric fingerprint scan to get in Nightclub!
Discussion
My local gangster ooooops did I say that I mean my local respectable nightclub owning business man, has introduced biometric fingerprint scans on the door of the local nightclub, basically you go there once show either a photcard driving license or passport and get scanned, then when ever you go back you plop you finger on the pad as you go in. I'm not sure why but I just feel uneasy about someone like this holding that sort of a database and under what circumstances would they turn it over to the police? for instance if someone is glassed and your fingerprints were on it due to bad washing up, would you be in the frame etc????
Personally I'm not going in there, but he was on the tele last night saying if you don't like it don't come in.

Yup, we've got one here in Harrow as well, as you walk in - (soon to be members only) it will let you in, open an account behind the bar and track all of your drinks etc, then when you leave if you havent cleared up your account cos your so drunk it will automatically settle the bill as well...

Which one is that? I grew up in Harrow and can't imagine anywhere classy enough for that kind of system!

I can put them on your front door if you like, removes the need for keys.
I'm curious though, you get in, have a ruck, get thrown out.
Do they scan your finger whilst you are flying through the air heading to the pavement so they know to disallow you in future?
Do you put them on with battery back up otherwise it could be a problem when powers down.

New Bar called Petri, lets face it, Harrow needed at least 1 half decent bar - the Upstairs is currently being converted into a Cigar and Champagne bar at the moment...
Wouldn't want one on my front door, or on my car, some mercs have that and one chap in Malaysia who had one got some crims stealing his car, but couldn't get it started without the fingerprint scanner, so the crims just simply lopped off his finger and used that 
Easier to remember a code, or use a key I think

Stages of techno security;
1) Whizzy techno solution introduced.
2) People try to fool the system because they can.
3) Said people are prosecuted for doing so.
4) Everybody forgets that the system is not foolproof.
5) People fool the system because they need to, in order to achieve personal gain.

one of the boys is currently working on a system about to go live in all schools for fingerprint analysis for registration and cashless payment called 'cool for schools'. expect to see it in every school within twelve months.
Sounds good, some of us were talking about how much simpler it would make things - we already have a fingerprint system for getting books out of the library, and electronic registration, so I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to mix the two together.
Bit of a bugger if the system goes down though...

Ohhh not heard of that one, but to be honest I don't go back there much. If I do always end up heading back to the Trinity, studenty I know, but the music is good!

Does Trinity still have that uncomfortable purple sofa next to the downstairs bar?
