Be careful where you put your fingers on !!!

Paying with your finger prints. Science fiction I hear you say ?
Not really, in Germany they have done some tests last year and they think the technology is mature enough to equip stores all over the region.

All customers have to do is register themselves for this service. They have to give their identity card and bank details and ... their finger prints of course. Now when these customers come to the cashier they don't have to look for coins or remember their code, they simply put their fingers on some sort of scanner which will compare them with the finger prints stored in the service's database. Since your finger prints are unique you won't be able to let someone else pay for your groceries. Unless you have chopped of someone elses fingers ;-).

So be careful of what you touch because someone might be debeting your account !
