Pointing a finger at guns

Article Abstract:

Smith and Wesson and Mytec Technologies have jointly developed their own version of the 'smart gun,' which can only be fired by using biometric and electronic technologies. It comes with a biometric module, which is inserted by removing the gun's magazine. The authorized user swipes his finger over the biometric module, which is then replaced by the magazine and the gun can now be fired. However, the gun will not fire when it falls into the hands of an unauthorized user such as a criminal or a child. It will not also fire when it is tampered with or taken apart.
