comment Why do we even use passwords / passphrases next to biometrics?
I think that's the crux of the distinction. If you are the building and you're deciding if you should let some guy in, and you trust your scanners, biometrics are fine. On the other hand, if you can't trust your scanners (remember "Ocean's eleven"?) you are likely to be deceived.

Perhaps true if you actually present yourself to a secure scanner, but the result of the scanner is a stream of bits, which is effectively your body's password. An insecure scanner can keep a copy of that stream of bits and reuse it without your presence.

The same kind of sensors as are normally used to read the media, only more sensitive and under manual control. Disk manufacturers must have them.
