Various people have demonstrated how easily the 1st generation devices
can be fooled. Perhaps later generations will be less likely to be
fooled. An example would be using infrared to look for proper average
temp and normal variations (say around eyes) to ensure the camera
wasn't looking at a photo.

In many ways, it's simply not a practical alternative to the
traditional passwords.
