command and control of military weapons? no normally
cryptologic equipment (maybe), but maybe not for NS reasons.

Since we *WILL* be using this equipment regardless of the biometrics
provision, we should absolutely not throw out our requirements as a
whole.

While I tend to agree that the placement of the finger would not be a
national security issue, HSPD 12 implies that the fingerprint reader,
itself, would fall into the national security venue.

I don't think placement of the finger is a matter of national security
so it

could be covered. Not sure where it belongs. We'll hold on to it though
until determined.

Unless it specifically address agencies will claim that they do not need
to conform. If you look at HSPD-12 and the requirements that each
agency is required to implement security has become more National
Security in nature.

Well you could say that but couldn't a government agency claim that
fingerprint readers would fall under the national security exception?

This may be for hardware, if so feel free to slap me there.

Biometric input "surfaces" must be tactually discernible, but they are
not controls, so may need to be called out specifically. For example, a
fingerprint reader must at least allow someone who is blind to feel
where to put their finger.
