The author of this article is badly mistaken about the answer to the question: True or false: Mobile biometrics requires a person's unique genetic markings to grant access to a device. Please read the definition of genetic marker (Wikipedia), and identify which technology (in use, or even in research) has been adapted to mobile devices to identify genetic markers.
