I recall there being a lot of screaming accompanying that “scan.” I think it was a rather destructive scanning process.
Gotta love youtube. . .
Well, the screaming might be attributable to the crowd rather than the person being 'scanned', but they sure did react drastically to the scan. The victim twitched and jerked spastically during the process. Note also the spinning blades in the device, and the way the eye hologram is reconstructed on the other end. I think we're meant to think of the eye being destroyed from the outside in, since that's the way it's reconstructed. Anyway, that's how I'll always think of it. Considering it's a PG-13 movie, they couldn't really be more graphic with it if they wanted.
Yes, but that’s not what they did – they found a much cheaper way to persuade the guards to shut the system down.
Of COURSE it still qualifies – what do you think the point of my even mentioning it was?
My local museum had the collection of collectable gold coins, probably their only portable valuable asset, go missing while the alarms were off and the back door unlocked. So like real life, it’s almost boring.
The most recent episode of The Blacklist featured a bad guy with an RFID chip in his hand that he used to operate his secret lair. The thieves infiltrating it made a point of mentioning that the chip was wired to his heartbeat, so they brought in a special machine to mimic a heartbeat after they sliced it out of his hand.
In the last episode of Dark Matter that we saw, they had to defeat a retina scan.
So, they kidnap some engineers, and then scan their retinas and use a device to create new, temporary patterns under our guy’s eyes. When they are explaining this to the audience, they cut to a shot of one of the kidnapped engineers turning to the other one and saying “That is SO cool.”
