I've just fitted a palm vein scanner to our machine room door.  They  
have the advantage that they are non-contact, so the pattern they are  
measuring isn't therefore imprinted on the sensor for later recovery,  
nor is the pattern they are measuring left on any other objects.  For  
the more paranoid, they also distinguish between live and dead, as  
they only sense the veins when filled with oxygenated blood.
