Cons of biometrics technology for enterprises

There are 2 sides to every coin as they say and this certainly applies to biometrics technology as well. 

Here are a few cons to using biometrics:

-privacy

-biometrics sensor's obstacles

The biggest concern with biometrics is probably the privacy issue. With this technology, it becomes increasingly easy to, for example, follow the goings of anyone around the globe (that is, if the system is used at more than one location). By collecting the data of one person, how can this information be secured? After all, identity theft is already a big issue. It is easy to cancel a stolen credit card but in this case, how does one cancel their own identity if stolen? There are other issues concerning privacy which is the misuse of personal information (by the government namely, to use as, say, population control)

The next concern would be the accuracy of biometrics sensors. In some cases, iris scanners can have difficulty recognizing an eye if the lighting isn't exactly the same as when the memory scan took place. This can cause delays and frustrations even though this kind of technology is still new and in the developing stage.
