One other thought on the Bourne movie: the part where he breaks into Vosen’s safe by recording his voice imprint and grabbing his thumb print with a piece of tape. Who knows how realistic that scenario really is, but it raises an interesting point that I’ve never heard anybody talk about: as technology advances, crime does not stop. Crime simply becomes more sophisticated to match and overcome systems designed to prevent it. In other words, everything stays exactly the same - except maybe criminals are forced to become smarter or maybe more resourceful. Maybe that’s all crime really is in some instances: people making alternative and unacceptable uses of available resources.

I don’t know about the tape but I’ve heard that you can make workable fake fingerprints from melted gummy bears. It sounds plausible.
