Biometric? Haven't heard about that! What if I get a face lift?
Actually, that is a valid concern, although with finger printing etc it is not really an issue I suppose.

These is a very basic piece on biometric face mapping here. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/shared/spl/h...l/nn2page1.stm I think it is a bit more complex than this though!
I know they have these... but I'm not sure those are available as of yet and they are.... it's probably pretty costly.
