Hackers, what will they think of next?

CNN has an article on the problems with biometric security. The money quote:

Although it is considered impossible to take an image’s minutia points and re-create the original, it is possible to concoct an image that shares those points and use it to trick a biometric system. This chicanery requires either hacking into a biometric-equipped network or using a low-tech scam such as making a fake finger out of something like latex or gummy bears.

Gummy bears? Can you imagine being the the infosec manager who has to report to the directors that the hackers managed to get away with gigabytes of confidential company data. And they did it using a piece of chewy candy?
Whatever happened to security? 10 years ago I used PGP. And now we have to ban IPods, USB memory sticks, cell phones with cameras, and candy from our offices.
