S1 E2 Biometrics + Do we need them?

I clearly remember the days working at my local supermarket and the drive to start my shifts in my Ford Fiesta. It was the 1.1 ‘L’ if anyone is interested . . .

One of my first tasks before starting a shift was to swipe my employee magnetic card. A magnetic card! Pretty risky considering anyone could have clocked on for me and I would have totally gotten away with it right?

Well no actually. At the start of my shift, my manager would expect me to be present. If I failed to be present, management checked to see if I had clocked in. If I had not, my name was called out over the supermarket PA system and the search for James would begin!

Fast forward and we have replaced the magnetic card with biometrics to enhance security and reduce time theft.

Wait. What?
