Before you ask, no -- it doesn't work with fingers that have been chopped off.
"The ATM runs on the latest in 'finger vein' technology, with an infrared light detecting a unique pattern of micro-veins."
This is said to be more accurate than finger-print scanning technology. The important aspect is the matching of a scan to specific demographic information on the ATM card's magnetic strip.
The required blood pressure indicates that a chopped off finger would not work for the scanning. That immediately makes this method superior to finger-print scanning.
The best approach would be an ATM that passes 120,000 volts of electricity at 300 Amps through the body of an individual whose scan does not match the card information. (I expect Fry's Electronics could patent that method.)
The question is how far behind Poland will the U.S. be.
