I don't want to spend five minutes in the grocery line patiently pleading with my wallet to realize that a) I have fingerprints that are b) the same as the ones I put into the device and that c) are attached to a living human.Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08847712032598240254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4384692836709903146.post-15198993341142271142010-05-13T06:59:29.704-07:002010-05-13T06:59:29.704-07:00@chicopanther

Housemates or co-workers would be less likely to dig through your wallet since they'd have to break the thing to get into it. Now, if the wallet could safely destroy the contents when tampered with, that might be more useful in case someone picks your pocket or something.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4384692836709903146.post-73743204781342633822010-05-12T07:39:04.338-07:002010-05-12T07:39:04.338-07:00Hey, that's cool.
