G.A. Heath wrote:Where I work the timeclock has used biometric technology for years. Our first used a code and scanned the hand (shape) while our current scans a finger print. The older unit was more reliable it worked about 95% and had no false positives (Due to the code). The current one worked about 80% of the time at first and has mis-identified employees often. The solution to mis-identification reduces the effectiveness of the unit to about 70% of employee efforts to clock in working the first two or three times, but we still get misidentifications about once a week, some times once a day. The technology for biometric identification on handguns would have to be cheaper than our time clocks which would mean that it would be even less effective. As someone who has used biometric identifiaction systems for years I can honestly say that I will NEVER willingly own a firearm that uses the technology.
That assumes the tech would be the same as used by your time clock which it wouldn't be. There is tech that would be 100% just too invasive or requires additional devices and other tech that is very close to being 90% right now. I believe there will be a time when smart guns will be effective and a great tool. I just don't think they should ever be mandatory but that doesn't mean I will ignore facts to combat the risk of that happening.
