Found this very interesting with how fast the world seems to be changing.

Forget fingerprinting. Companies in Europe have begun to roll out an advanced biometric system from Japan that identifies people from the unique patterns of veins inside their fingers.

Finger vein authentication, introduced widely by Japanese banks in the last two years, is claimed to be the fastest and most secure biometric method. Developed by Hitachi, it verifies a person's identity based on the lattice work of minute blood vessels under the skin.

Looks better at identifying & harder to fool than the Fingerprints.

I believe it will be a mark that identifies them as worshipers of the anti-Christ. I believe they will wear this mark with pride. Look at the pride people have showed in Obama. Now think of the pride that will go out towards someone that people are convinced is a god that has brought perfect peace to the world.
Most Christians believe that the anti-Christ will not require this mark until the last half of the tribulation. At the point that the anti-Christ will die and rise again. Most of the world will see the anti-Christ as god. Those who do not will either accept the mark so they can eat or die.

I wonder if this will have anything to do with the Mark of the Beast...

I'm already using the fingerprint of my middle finger on to access a locked/controlled area at work. We press our fingers into a magic little keypad and our fingerprints come up on a screen. It's creepy enough as it is. In our application and thousand others, vein scans would be going completely overboard, but it would be more secure. My fingerprint could easily be stolen with a pair of pruning sheers.

:agree

The Bible is pretty clear about it. It's to be a number, and it's to be on the hand or forehead.

Actually all they need to do is get a glass you've been holding, and lift your fingerprint from that.

Once one has a copy of the print, you can make a copy of it that will fool most of the low cost readers that are in use.
