"wireless" and "security" in the same system frightens me.  Especially 
"Physical Security".

A buddy once installed a wireless alarm system.  It appeared to work great, 
until the first time that the cordless phone rang when it wasn't on the cradle, 
and the alarm was armed... the logs showed that every sensor in the whole house 
had "gone offline" for 4 1 second periods... about long enough for a ring.

Call me paranoid...

The USB stick idea is a good one though... anyone got any VC that Gunnar and I 
can borrow? ;-)

Ummm... yeah... that's what I was thinking.  It's just I was looking for 
something a little, less, shall we say, thought intensive.  If I was a door 
lock manufacture, I would create a finger print reading device that has a small 
flash memory in it, this memory would be protable so you can program it at a 
computer and move the stick back into the door handle.  Or maybe it would have 
wireless built into it, that would be sweet.

Biometric Scanner (with an API) + Spare PC + Electronic Door Strike.

Wire the scanner outside the door, with the PC inside the door.  Attach the 
"switch" for the electronic strike to the parallel port, using one of the well 
known "parallel-port-switching" methods.

Write an app to monitor the biometric API, query the AD, and key the door 
strike if they are allowed.

Make sure there is another way in though...

I want a door lock that reads finger prints or pins (I dont' care) but I want 
this door lock to tie into my Active Directory so I can enable and disable 
whoever I want.  And I want this to cost less than $1000 because it is for one 
door only.  Any ideas?

Gunnar
