Thoughts on fingerprint reader time clock security?
My employer has implemented a fingerprint reader as our time clock. I have several concerns and want to get some other opinions. The idea creates and environment of mistrust. The employer is not known for their IT security so what is to stop a hacker from getting that info and or a government agencies from getting the info via a subpoena? The idea of my fingerprint sitting in a database makes me uneasy. Lets say someone steals something from the office...why not check fingerprints against all the ones in the database?? there are all ready there.
any other thoughts?

Well chances are that if they were successful in stealing it, they wouldn't have any fingerprints to look at. But yes, I do understand where you're coming from. It's pretty sad when you have a feeling of mistrust in the workplace considering you spend a good portion of your life there. Try speaking with your employer to better understand the way the security works and how well their information is kept sealed.

We use fingerprint security systems at work as well - as the above poster said - much ado about nothing. It's simply an identifier for the purposes of security at work.

I think it's much ado about nothing. Many SEC companies require fingerprints on file before you get a job there.
