    Let's hope that this will work and hackers will not laught at Defcon showing how they bypassed it.

    I wonder if you could cut off someone's head and hold it up to the ATM and withdraw their money?

    I don't think there will ever be a point where I'll trust facial recognition. If a major haircut or a lot of makeup can make someone become almost unrecognizable to other humans, how is a computer supposed to do better? Just simply putting on glasses or growing a beard can dramatically change the appearance and shape (in terms of a 3D scan) of someone's face. So in order for a computer to set aside such differences, it has to compromise on quality. But if it compromises too much, then it's too easy to spoof. If it's too picky, it will be too frustrating to use.

    Facial recognition is a terrible idea for biometrics. Fingerprint scanners are easy to spoof too but at least your twin's fingerprint isn't going to fool it.

    Aren't a lot of those facial recognition locks beat with a printed picture in the past ?
