Funny thing if you search the internet a little you will see that finger print readers are not secure at all. I have seen stories of people being able to defeat them with just a gummy bear.

There are two types of scenners: touch and swipe. Touch scanners are the ones that can be fooled by a gummy bear, becasue you leave your fingerprint on the plate. With the swipe scanner you swipe your finger through plate and no fingerprints remain on the plate.
