The important thing to keep in mind here is that even if it's *possible* to deploy a given new feature, that doesn't mean that it makes good business sense to actually *do* so.

For instance, you *could* deploy biometrics to lower the amount of fraud at the ATM, and make sure that the rigth person is using the card. But to do so, you need to spend money on good fingerprint readers or similar. And the fingerprint readers they put in PC's may be cheap, but they just won't cut it - you need one that will survive being out in the rain with the ATM, having *thousands* of fingers poked at it a day, and so on. Then you need to actually *register* all your users - they have to come in and record their fingerprints. And then teach them how to use the new system, etc etc. This gets expensive pretty quickly.

And it probably won't save them much money - they've *already* got that little security camera on the machine. Those *already* cut down on the fraud significantly, and don't require the users to do aything different.

That's why almost every ATM has a camera, and almost none have biometrics - one is cheap and stops a lot of fraud, the other is expensive and doesn't stop a lot more fraud. No bank president is going to be interested in hearing "We can start this new biometrics program that will cost $2M to start up, and it will save us $1M in fraud". That costs the bank $1M.

Train the moron that always gets in front of me in the line and make it illegal for people to open their doors because they cannot drive well enough to park close enough to use the window.
