Keep Your Wheels Safe: Garage Door Opener Scans Your Fingerprint
We're not sure how seriously you take the security of your garage, but if you're paranoid over keeping the valuables within - wheeled or otherwise - safe and sound, you may want to pick up Master Lock's new garage door opener. The Smart Touch opener limits access to your tools and toys with just the touch of a finger.
Compatible with a host of different garage door lifts, the Smart Touch uses a biometric fingerprint scanner as its validation point. No longer must you remember an inane code or remember to bring along a remote; a quick press of a fingertip signals the door to open or close. Up to 20 fingerprints can be scanned and programmed, allowing those you deem worthy to gain access to what lies beneath.
If that's worth it to you, the Smart Touch opener retails for around $130, and thanks to its wireless communication, seems simple enough for a DIY install.

Biometric locks are a bad idea. With regular locks, thieves take your stuff. With biometric locks thieves take your finger, and then take your stuff.

I've always seen biometric locks as a novelty. Maybe when they become very cheap and very widespread in the future, I'll start adopting them.
