I have one of those dongle things for encrypting files...got it free too
Took about 3 months from america...apparently they are quite cool...i never got round to using mine.

And the bottom line is that the only way to reduce false positive readings is to set the security level so high that you get a huge number of false negative readings - i.e. you'll need to read your print many times for it to be accepted.

I was basing that on a report I read recently that showed fingerprint recognition to have unacceptable false match rates, even in a best case scenario. Will try to find that.
But NEC claims to deliver excellent results.
If only my iPaq 5550's fingerprint recognition was that good, LOL.
