Didn't Smith play with a revolver that would not fire unless you were wearing a magnetic ring?
Yes, and I believe Massad Ayoob has one if I correctly recall what he told me when I interviewed him on my podcast (When it was the "Open Carry Report). This particular firearm would never make it in the so-called smart gun market because it adds complexity which gun owners would not like, and it is easily bypassed with a magnet which anti-gunners would not like.

I would like to say at work we have a biometric time clock (This is our second model that we have used) and we have employees who have make multiple attempts to clock in/out under relatively controlled conditions (and we have the sensitivity set so that people can identified as someone else in some cases). I also have a few 'smart devices' with biometric sign in, and there are rare times I simply have to use the password/pin override to use it as I get locked out from too many attempts. My current devices that use such technology are a Galaxy S6 and an ASUS T102HA. If I need my weapon I want to be able to draw, aim, and fire. I would prefer to live rather than try to enter a password/pin to override biometric system in time so I could shoot the guy pointing his pistol at me.
