Fingerprints get you credit in Florida

Nick Farrell / The Inquirer | June 26 2006

A FLORIDA corner store chain is experimenting with a device that scans your fingerprint to process payments through a debit account.
Coast to Coast is experimenting with what it considers is Florida's first biometric payment system.

The advantage is that you don't need a card or have to remember a pin number. All you need to do is stick your digit onto a scanner to make payments.

Currently the system is only processing only debit account transactions, but it could easily be extended to credit card transactions.

However, the system has had a strange reaction from the people of Florida which has a high percentage of elderly folk.

Some have loved the idea, but others think that it is a sign of the Second Coming of Jesus and somehow connected to the 'mark of the beast' in the book of Revelation.
