Can I use an arduino to run a fingerprint scanner?

Basically I would like to hook a usb fingerprint scanner to an arduino and have it give me a power out for approval, which I would run to a relay that would be the ignition switch on my hot rod. I know nothing of encoding an arduino but I will learn if I am pretty sure it will work.

    As long as you can write or find a program that can read and process the output of the fingerprint scanner, then I don't see why not.
