From European Car, February 01 2001 by Jim Mccraw This excerpt is from page two of the story. <<excerpt>>Car thieves of the future will probably have to hold masters degrees in electronics in order to steal your wheels. As if the engine immobilizers and random key codes of today weren't enough, German supplier Siemens showed a system at Convergence 2000 that will match your fingerprint to the fingerprints on file and unlock the car for you if there is a match. As you open the door, your electronic profile will activate, changing the seats, mirrors, ventilation system settings and entertainment channels to your preferred settings. If you don't want your son driving fast, the Siemens system will automatically change the engine's performance map when his fingerprint shows up findarticles.com steve

Yup, Identity theft can ruin your life if it happens to you. Unfortunately most police departments don’t allocate resources towards combating this type of crime because of its non violent nature. I have been a long time stockholder of IDX and believe that the need for increased security will eventually lead to the increased use of biometrics and will continue to hold my shares believing that IDX is in a good position to capitalize on this technology. Just to give you an idea as to how long I have been waiting for this… I have been a FINX stock holder years ago....
