Biometric systems are more than storing pictures of fingerprints (and when that's all they are, you're defeating the purpose... sort of like printing out electronic documents). A proper biometric system will only accept live scans, not pictures. You shouldn't have to "change fingers," and you only need to scan one to confirm your identity.
BTW, the "Mission: Impossible" stuff, making fake fingertips to scan you through security systems? Sci-fi. Modern scanners know better.
