What is the disadvantage of a fingerprint scanner?

Ignoring the problems that biometric devices often have of false negatives (i.e. the scanner doesn't recognise you because you didn't put your finger on it correctly), one problem with using any biometric device (such as a fingerprint scanner) is that if someone figures out a way to "spoof" (fool) the scanner, there is no way to change your fingerprint. For example, if my credit card is stolen I can cancel it. If my passWord is stolen, I can change it. If someone has my fingerprints, well, I guess there is nothing I can do to stop them from accessing whaterver system they unlock.
