#1 Fingerprint logon for computers can be fooled with fake fingers, too. IIRC a Japanese researcher did it using ballistics jelly to replicate the fingerprint patterns of various people. Worked fine.

#3 Nobody operating the machine noticed she had tape on her fingers?

#5 OldSpook, it is and they did.
