Re: "Biometrics." It's a security "feature"

" No, gait. Not goat. That's still "something you have" "

Considering that my SO and I tend to wrap arms about our shoulders whilst we walk, I can tell you now that if one is using gait as a biometric, your sense of security is subject to shoes. I have dress shoes, running shoes and sandals, as does SWMBO, and when we walk together, different shoes require that we do different things to match stride. Thus, our gaits are substantially altered by the shoes we wear. Furthermore, I'll be at some point getting foot surgery to correct structural damage done whilst I was a rather young figure skater. I will be required to *re* learn how to walk after that is done. I'll not mention the twenty something offspring of a friend of mine who has had not one but two knee reconstructions due to baseball accidents.
