3D printing of a dead mans fingers allows unlocking his phone

The Police in Michigan is evaluating the possibility to reproduce a dead mans fingerprint from a prerecorded scan with 3D printing and use it to unlock any mobile device. Modern biometric sensors rely on electrical currents that most 3D-printed objects are not able to conduct.

He is confident that in a few weeks he will be able to unlock the mobile device of the dead man.”]
