Say you are a cashier and someone pulls out one of these cards and someone else's dead severed finger to authenticate it.

Do you say:

A: "Hold it right there while I call the police!"
B: "Thank you, and do come again."

Just another layer of security. Issue is this will have no impact for online fraud, which I'm sure is the majority of the fraud that takes place. (once you go touch-less that is).

No, you say: "Sir, don't forget to put the finger in a freezer to preserve it for your next purchase. Have a nice day."

No. No fingerprint, please.
(to my wife) "Here, take my card and go buy groceries. Oh wait..."

So I can't give my card to my wife if she left her purse in the car? You can't give a card to your child for use in emergencies? I want at least 3, preferably 4 people able to use a card. I'm all about Biometrics, but it has to be designed for real life, not some sterile lab where only one person ever uses any device or card.
