Facial recognicion (Score: 0) by Anonymous Coward on 2015-02-07 22:14 (#2WZ0) So you just have to put on a mask with the face of the hotel guest residing in the room in order to open it? Or even better, get the mask of some employee (there certainly will be jobs that won't be replaced by robots, say hotel security) and be able to enter every room you want!

Perhaps it could be fooled with a cardboard cutout. More to the point: how do you get someone's face and room number and also avoid all security to get in to and out of the room? A smart workaround would be to have a snapshot of all door unlocks sent to central security for human review.
