Biometrics have advantages and disadvantages, like everything else. They're not a panacea. Steven's blog entry that he linked to suggests that he thinks fingerprint scanners will solve all the problems that passwords have, without introducing new problems. It's far more likely that they'll solve some problems, but also introduce new ones.
