If have to put your whole hand into it then it's a hand scanner and does not scan or even read your finger prints.
What it does is measures your hand. I've installed these things and there is really no harm in it. In fact next time use your left hand, but you have to flip it over. Your left and right hand are the same size on most people. If it works then you know that they don't have your prints.

I question any connection of the biometrics stuff and the "mark of the beast".

BIO METRIC works by reading a fingerprint, then turns the fingerprint into a number. The process of turning the print into a number makes it virtually impossible to copy or access the print by any means.
We plan on starting the scanning process to put the prints into our system on February 6. If you have any questions how tyhe scanning will be done, please contact me. Thankyou Sharri Shivly.
If this isnt crazy i dont know what is? No its not the Mark..But it does not sit well with me..I dont call my pastor over shrivolous stuff, but tonight i called him . He was pretty suprised and reassured me it was not the mark, but we are getting closer and closer..he said its probably to protect the kids..etc..
Yeah, i know..But now my kids will be in BIG BROTHERS DATA Bank! I didnt say that! He said i could definitely go ask questions, and its my decison what to do, and also if he thought it was going to hurt the kids he would be the first one down at the school..
Am i freaking out or what>>
I am not a doomer gloomer...But i live in a small town..This is a smaller school..What does everyone think? Can you give me some advice? Thanks,Summer!!
I actually do not think this is a bad idea.... and costs have certainly come down.

It does seem intrusive at a certain level. Just out of curiosity, if nothing else, I would ask where the biometric information is to be stored and what other agencies would have access to it.
Like it or not, your kids will eventually have this same info recorded when they get their driver's license. You're probably already in there too.
I wouldn't worry too much about "Big Brother's Data Bank" since there is no real "Big Brother" and thus no such databank. But the way various organizations, governmental bodies and law enforcement agencies are continuing to collect info on people is uncomfortable at times.
On the bright side, some of the intrusions are lessening in places. I just started a new job at a Fortune 500 company and for the first time since I can remember I wasn't sent down to a lab for drug screening. I don't have anything to hide there, but it's just plain weird to have to bring something out from the bathroom. We close that door to try and maintain the illusion that we still have some dignity.

Speaking as someone who has worked in factories his whole life, I want more drug screening, not less. Those forklift drivers may not be out for blood, but they do keep score.
Alternately, they may have screened you for drugs without you knowing it if they were able to pick up a strand of hair that you shed.

I'm not quite that paranoid, yet. Besides, I'm hardly worth the cost of such an investigation.
Re: BIOMETRIC FINGERPRINT SCANNING at my kids scho
It's not the mark and is not even getting closer to it. The mark is not a physical thing any more than the name of the Father on the forehead is a physical thing two verses after the mark is mentioned in Rev 13.
