I don't even like the IDEA of "smart" guns but I'd be more worried about false negatives than false positives. My luck the damned thing wouldn't recognize me and would pout and not cooperate. I am reminded of Jimmy Doohan's great line "The more they overthink the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain." I would add that it is also more likely that the drain will become stopped up.
