Gadget Sessions: A biometric fingertip reader...in a mouse?

It’s a way to safeguard your computer while you're away from your desk with the biometric fingertip identification reader built right in. Fellowes Secure Touch Optical is said to be mini sized & that the fingerprint authenticator functions at over 99% accuracy rate.

It eliminates the need to remember passwords and provides protection against unauthorized use of your PC. Fellowes bundled the mouse with the OmniPass Security Software for managing fingerprint recognition access to your PC or notebook. The software includes a wizard that guides you through creating an identification profile. The software's Single Touch Log-On feature lets you perform startup and Windows authentication with the touch of your finger. Suggested retail was $99, but you can find it for about $80 if you do a web search (Amazon).
