A biometric scanner, when used in consumer computing, most often refers to a fingerprint scanner. However, there are more programs coming out (that have been in use in the corporate/military sectors for years, no doubt) such as technology that uses a webcam to scan your facial features to allow you in to your computer. This technology would also qualify as biometric, as it uses features that are generally different for every person as a method of identification.
