Amazon wants to patent device that IDs shoppers by their hand
NY Post ^ | 12/27/2019 | Nicolas Vega

Amazon is one step closer to implementing its creepy, futuristic flesh-and-blood payment system.

The e-tailing giant’s engineers on Thursday filed a patent application for a device that can scan a human hand — without ever touching it — as a way to ring up a store purchase.

As The Post exclusively reported in September, the device is being developed by Amazon engineers under the code name “Orville” for a future rollout at the Amazon-owned Whole Foods supermarket chain.

Employees at Amazon’s New York offices have been serving as guinea pigs for the biometric technology, using it at a handful of vending machines to buy such items as sodas, chips, granola bars and phone chargers, according to sources briefed on the plans.

Recode first reported the news of Amazon’s Thursday patent filing, which says the device will identify users by surface characteristics of the palm such as wrinkles, as well as deeper features like veins.

Do not use body parts for credentials.

I'll bet you, and everyone else here, uses body parts for credentials every day when interacting with others.

Many individuals cannot use their hands, many do not have hands. What about those?

It’s scanning, not an implant.

How close could they get with just one finger?

Yes, but they often change their bra to throw us off.

Any sound security system has a way to cancel stolen credentials and issue new ones. Using any body part as the single source of identification is a bad idea.

It will be a mark.

He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads.

Well aware of that verse, but a “mark” is not involved in “scanning.”

They’ll put you on the registry for that!

Dunno, but one finger is certainly the correct response.

We already have such things we hold in our hands on our phones and in our wallets every day.

The mark is what you have in your head, your forehead, where you think, what you believe and, it is in your hand because that is the tool of action.

God is always focused on the heart (soul) that controls both.

Don’t take the mark.

Homosexuality beliefs and other things like idol worship, earth worship etc. are a big part of it IMHO.

All this tech could lead to a particular device some day though.

You would probably have to ‘qualify’ by thinking, believing and, doing some things that a real Christian just won’t do in order to be ‘rewarded’.

I won’t be taking any implants or chips, whatever it be.

No. Even if you have resources and lots of love, it invades you without your knowledge and tells them what you can afford and probably what you will pay no matter what your other obligations are. You give up privacy AND control. Not ready to do that voluntarily yet. NO.

WTF can go wrong? I am not evil but can think evil. Progress many times is nothing more than actual regression.

Yes, you could be right. It is noteworthy that everyone has changed the translation from "in the forehead" in the King James version to "on the forehead" in all the newer translations. The subject of the matter is the almost universal deception of the mind that is going to take place in that time. So it could very well be as you say. The word is 1909 in the Strongs concordance and can be translated either way depending how it is used.

King James Bible
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

I'd like to patent something that would induce Bezos to jump out of his girlfriend's helicopter at 5,000 feet.

“surface characteristics of the palm “

And there will be a black market (is that ray-ciss?) in pickled hands, thumbs, eyeballs.
