no more power button - instead there is a small touchpad that emits a 
special laser light that the sensor array in the pad analyses the 
reflected/absorbed light in order to read your finger's print, DNA 
signature, and body heat etc...

would someone be able to create a special device that would "reflect" 
back an imitated DNA signal?  YES.  =)

There always has been, and there ALWAYS will be a way around the MOST 
'secure' 'securities' -

'security' is a highly relative term...  it's a concept - not a reality.

there is no security - there's just a more or less comfortable state of 
mind w/ regard to your worries (rational or otherwise) about the wrong 
people accessing the wrong things.  (this all falls under the misnomer 
of ownership and control - both concepts.  albeit fairly 'real' 
concepts governed by a network of like-minded citizens ) =)

when you exist in a conceptual world where technology and modern 
thought revolves around concept rather than reality - well you get what 
you play for...
