Great tool when used right. But one thing worries me. You can add "even yourself"? That means this device is capable of scanning people, store this data for later and use it to identifying them. Imagine bigger and better version of this on airports, stations, shopping centers. Your molecular signature could be scanned and thed used to track you everywhere. Is not that scenario a possible outcome of all of this?

oh my god that is so true, as i heard that already face recognition software will be on a database, we are losing privacy in every way.  But wait I dont think they can be able to tell im sure everyone can have the same skin signature in there bodies, cause it changes all the time.

That is why I highlighted this part
Think about it: if you are a drug dealer or buyer you could test your fresh 100 ton container from South America to know if it is 100%...

There are cameras in mannequins in some larger shopping centers, they are equipped with face recognition software and even capable of searching facebook for your photos. Of course it is 100% legal and marketing specialists are claiming that this is for better sales management and to improve customer service. Yeah right.
