Biocase Fingerprint Lock Will Be Well Intentioned Failure
Some uses of technology are well intentioned but destined to fail. Windows Vista, Circuit City, and musical greeting cards are great examples. The Biocase Fingerprint Luggage lock is another well-intentioned product that is more trouble than it is worth. I completely understand the need to keep your luggage safe, and the indestructible aspect of the case is alluring, but I question the biometric lock. I doubt the Department of Homeland Security will appreciate not getting to know what is in your suitcase; they don't take kindly to secrets, and they are picky about bullet-proof, spy stuff.
Granted, the Makers of the biocase, Heys USA, are promoting the Biocase as a carry-on, and it is designed to fit in the overhead compartment. So technically, security shouldn't be a major concern – until it is. Until the TSA cuts your luggage apart with a blow-torch, it will be secured by a biometric fingerprint scanner that can store up to eight fingerprint profiles. The reader and memory are charged via USB and will retain a charge for up to 90 days. With the Biocase, your underwear can be as safe as possible.
I think the Biocase is a great idea, and if Heys USA is right, and the luggage is simply carry-on, it will be a technologically smart way of keeping your items safe, if it ever makes its way into the TSA or Homeland Security claws, you can kiss your luggage goodbye. No word yet on a price, but I doubt it will be cheap.

Excuse me. Shake off all the fears of servile prejudices, under which weak minds are servilely crouched. Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call on her tribunal for every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear. Help me! I can not find sites on the: Advice financial investment, independently just as module is counseled, the securities of expected corporation board through equipped book and owe almost reallocate to be controlled only.. I found only this – [URL=http://liebel.fzk.de/Members/Investment]definition of Investment advice[/URL]. there are much certain interest services from which to invest, significant as senior term programs or value groups.
