The trouble is, Anton, that, as you admit, biometric forgery is only 'practically' impossible. In other words it IS possible given enough time and effort.

And unlike when someone gets hold of your pin, once someone has forged your biometrics, you are totally f*cked!

Even if you manage to convince the powers-that-be that your ID has been forged (and you were lucky that it was just someone cleaning out your bank account and not buying bomb making gear using it) then the only option is to blacklist your ID so nobody can do that again. Trouble is, you are stuck with it, so YOU are, in effect, blacklisted yourself.

Imagine living with 'blacklisted' biometrics. Try to open a bank account, get a loan, rent a car, travel by air, etc, etc, etc.
