"Almost impossible" wrt fingerprint scanners? Not true. Even "attended biometrics" checking has been circumvented before. And the fingerprint-process that DHS is in love with has already failed once to prevent a person from entering the US who was supposed to be denied entry and caught by such things as the current incarnation of DHS fingerprinting.
