Children as young as four could be fingerprinted to take out books from a school libaray.<\/p>\n

Students in Manchester are having their thumbprints digitally transformed into electronic codes, which can then be recognised by a computer program.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Under the scheme, pupils swipe a bar code inside the book they want borrow then press their thumb on to a scanner to authorise the loan. Books are returned in the same way.<\/p>\n
