I saw a Mythbusters episode where they defeated a fingerprint scanner with a home printer copy of a fingerprint they lifted off a CD case with superglue.

Good thing that one doesn't have to go looking for a CD case - there are probably prints on the touchscreen :)

I'm not sure all fingerprints are created equal, though. Maybe this one detects depth in some fashion?
