$ERBB: Bucfan: Thankfully NO! The PRIMARY GOAL of a Bio-Metric Scanner & Verifier(Fingerprint, Retina or other)is to be able to MATCH the Individual to the Individual's Card Id Information.
"I have read the claims. Please identify one independent claim from the two patents that does not have a "comparing" or "matching" requirement from the biometric captured at the machine to a biometric signature stored on a card that the user must insert into the machine. "
Sounds like you picked up on the same thing I did. That so called patent is generic, out dated, expired and holds no exclusive rights to crap, especially that dam candy machine with Ipad glued on.
