Military remote operations are common place. They use (a)symmetric

biometric qualifiers (authentication). Cheap, doable, end of discussion.

And they've discovered that installations using a specific type of
RFID system can be hacked in less than a minute with relatively simple
equipment. OTOH those places that need security now have added
guards.

Poor implementations, I'm no RFID fan, we're barcode people lol but
there is no reason that a properly designed, keyless remote system
which uses your fingerprint (I would say thumbprint but in your case
) as the "key" to allow the unlocking of the encrypted, transmitted code
can't be accomplished. They are common place (assuming no FAA frequency
issues, blah blah) Encryption is rock solid, unbreakable, it's the
password (in this case your print) that is the weak link.
