Its a fingerprint reader. Since no two people in the world have same thumb prints and wrinkles do not wear off according to age or over time, thumbprinting is taken as one of the most safe security systems. Your thumbprint is stored in a machine. and when you impress ur thimb on the reader it goes through the databse and finds the identity match. These are used in the CIA and FBI to identify criminals too. Yes, these are also used in ATM machines. However, the better and coslier technology is retina scanning where your eye is scanned.\n(I gave u such a long and detailed answer, plzz rate as best answer)

It is difficult enough to keep all the checks processed and delivered . The out-of country banks cant turn in daily work  for check processing because that is very expensive delivery costs and it would take a meeting of the top economists from every country with a currency coming together and trying to explain each countries economic particulars to each other , trying to compare notes to figure out a simple way to combine Banking Laws into one.\nI myself have been hoping that the countries would come to some kind of worldwide system agreement to place foreign embassy ATM locations at  all foreign embassies with currency exchange ability able to exchange currency there into whatever currency they need and to send payments abroad using wiring money methods. Does anybody know if there are any new ATMs on the horizon .there are certainly enough ipods, blackberrys , etc..

A friend of mine has one on her IBM laptop, and it works, but I don't think that it is any faster than typing a password.  Sometimes she has to scan her finger twice, etc.  But it is safer, I suppose.

obviously with the advancing technology systems used to activate any and almost ALL transactions today, paper money will be non-existent very soon!  i mean, how many people do you know that actually write out and use a paper check from their checkbook to make a purchase nowadays?    besides, communism is a necessary step to the demise of our humanity and society!

If you are planning to work for a company repairing and calibrating them--shouldn't you already know that stuff?  If not, shouldn't you be able to get that info from them?  Sounds kinda fishy to me actually lol.

If the "job" has anything to do with receiving checks from their "customers" here in North America and forwarding the money on to them, it is a scam.  The checks will bounce but only after you wire the money out and the bank will hold you liable.

What you have there is "Pulse" or "Kairo." You should stop using those computers.\n\nhttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt0286751/

TOTAL SCAM!!!!!!!\n\nI work at a bank and see this all the time.  Check out the websites the other person listed.  The Dept of Labor does not give out money, and even if they did, they would not ask for any money from you up front!

The story about IBM was their IT manager was wondering why he was seeing so much bandwidth usage on holidays, when no one was in the building in New Jersey.  He noticed cars in the parking lot and traced the signals.\n\nBoom, the folks were busted for tresspassing and stealing services (the signal).\n\nIf a hotel walked up to someone in their parking lot, they could just say "I was about to check-in, in fact, I'm booking this hotel online at this very moment"\n\nHard to prove intent to steal services at that point, same think with a potential tresspass charge.

Sorry, there's no way to check My Answers from home.  You have to login to Novell to do that and you can only do that from a Radioshack terminal.  They were looking into allowing that from home but eventually decided it wasn't worth the risk for a hacker to come in and get social security numbers, paycheck amounts, checking account numbers, etc.

I like the self-service checkouts.  I don't have to deal with anyone.  Just scan my stuff, pay, and leave.\n\nIn the not-too-distant future, all store items will have RFID and you'll be able to just walk out of the store with your stuff and your bank account will automaticaly be appropriately debited.

Yes I had that happen yesterday. Telecheck is an electronic way of processing your checks, they send it through the computer and based on your banks routing number and your own account number it contacts the banks mainframe to verify that you have the amount in your account to cover the check you just wrote. it then puts a hold on the funds and you get your check back voided out. Walmart and a lot of companies are starting to do this now because of having problems with too many people writing bad checks that bounce like a rubber ball and then not being able to get in contact with them to collect funds that the store(s) were shorted. All in all it comes down to keeping the honest people honest, unless you live in a state where they have laws that if you write bad checks you can be arrested for it and proccessed for fraud.

You can purchase a very cheap thumb print scanner, and use the PC for authentication. Then have the PC trigger a solenoid via the serial or parallel port. You could use a microcontroller instead of a PC, but you will need to program the microcontroller.

Biometrics are used to identify people based on their biological traits. This growing technological field has deep implications because proving identity is becoming an integral part of our daily lives. To uncover the prevalence that biometrics could attain, let us consider an ordinary day of Thomas.\n\nThomas wakes up in the morning, and checks his email on his computer. His service provider requires that Thomas confirm that it is he that is checking his account; instead of entering a username and password, he presses his thumb against a biometric scanner on his keyboard. The system confirms that it is, in fact, Thomas and grants him access to his messages. On his way to work, he enters his car but instead of using a key to identify him as the owner of the vehicle, another biometric scanner checks his fingerprint to confirm that he has the permission to enter.\n\nA biometric hand-recognition device confirms that it is Thomas and allows him entrance to the building at work. Thomas' work computer uses a voice-recognition system that requires him to say a short phrase; it recognizes him and confirms that he has permission to access all programs and files on the computer network.\n\nFor lunch, Thomas takes a short trolley ride with some colleagues to a nearby restaurant. Upon entering the trolley, a biometric face-recognition camera recognizes him and automatically bills his bank account. At the restaurant, he pays by 'credit card' but instead of using an actual card, he presses his thumb against a portable biometric scanner. No signature is required and he is authenticated almost immediately. On his way home from work, he stops at the library to pick up a book, and he checks it out with a biometric retina scan instead of a library card.\n\nIt is evident that our identity is frequently required; For the time being we use a wide assortment of methods to verify our identity: usernames, passwords, signatures, keys, cards etc. Biometrics allow us to authenticate ourselves with things that we carry with us wherever we may go, such as our hands, eyes, voices, faces, fingerprints etc. In addition to the convenience, biometrics can be much more effective; a key or card, for example, can fall into someone else's hands. The promise of ease and increased security are perhaps biometric's most appealing features.\n\nThe downside of all the benefits of biometrics is personal privacy. If we are going to be identified at various points during the day, will large companies, the government or other institutions track our behaviors and use this data in unanticipated or invasive ways? These questions must be addressed before biometrics have the chance of pervading our daily lives.

it would be very hard for someone to see that data while it is going to the "bank" server, but do remember that just because it says "secure" does not mean you are 100% safe, if their is a keylogger on your system, it would record all the data, but in general i would agree that most sites are safe, you i would think have more risk taking money from a cash machine than online,
