High school senior and boy genius Kai Kloepfer decided to put his smarts to work on developing a biometric safety measure on firearms — or a fingerprint reader.
Last year when he was just a 17-year-old high school student from Boulder, Colorado, Kloepfer won a $50,000 grant last September to help push his work further. He was the first person to win the award since the Smart Tech Challenge launched in January 2014.
Kloepfer said his biometric sensor can be programmed to authorize up to 999 users and it boasts a 99.99 percent success rate — even with partial prints.

This is obviously a fantastic idea and an essential component for home usage. Unfortunately for the kid, once this gets big he’s going to be called a ‘Government Shill’ and the nut jobs of sites like this one will claim that the government put him up to this so that they can disable everyone’s guns remotely.
I can see it now, people like Dave Hodges posting videos (after messing with the biometric system) claiming the Government disabled his gun.
Good Luck.
