Yes, it's not just science fiction. There are all kinds of devices nowadays that have security devices such as you described. In the consumer market, laptop computers are now using fingerprint scanners as a security device. Some cars also have what is called a bio-feedback device which is essentially the same thing. Where I work there are bio-feedback devices to prevent unauthorized entry to the facility.

A public iris scanning device has been proposed in a patent from Samoff Labs in New Jersey. The device is able to scan the iris of the eye without the knowledge or consent of the person being scanned. The device uses multiple cameras, and then combines images to create a single scan . Iris recognition is a biometric identification system that requires a high-resolution picture of the irides of the subject's eye. Pattern recognition software is then used to match that picture against future iris scans. Iris scans are considered highly accurate; current iris recognition algorithms have an incredibly low false match rate. Good quality scans result in a "false match" less than one time per one hundred billion (this system has been used with excellent results in the United Arab Emirates). The significant advantage of the newly proposed system is that it allows iris scans to be taken without the knowledge or participation of the subject.........So YES !!!

I work at a casino that has a palm scanner. You enter your code and put your hand on the reader. It unlocks the door if you belong there.

Yes. I have a finger-print scanner on this notebook so I can log on by scanning my finger instead of typing a password.
