Title: Japanese ATMs to Use Palm Readers in Place of Cash Cards
Post by: Sundowner on April 18, 2012, 05:43:50 PM

Japan may soon be nuclear power free but soon your hand will be scanned to receive cash.

Next logical step?...Why not scan your hand to buy and sell?

When this comes to America (and you know it will).....I'll pass.

Japanese ATMs to Use Palm Readers in Place of Cash Cards

A Japanese bank will introduce ATMs that use palm scanners in place of cash cards, it said Wednesday.

Ogaki Kyoristu Bank said the new machines will allow customers to withdraw or deposit cash and check their balances by placing their hand on a scanner and entering their birthday plus a pin number. The ATMs will initially be installed at 10 banks, as well as a drive-through ATM and two mobile banks, from September.

Ogaiki announced the new ATMs with the slogan "You are your cash card."

Good so now instead of stealing a wallet or purse, all we have to do is mug the guy and drag is body over a scanner, I see

I'll venture a guess the Machete has taken more lives than most any other edged weapon..........mostly because it is still producing bodies on a daily basis.

Not sure about that italian version mentioned above, though.
