This age of high-tech identification methodology apparently makes some people uncomfortable. So if you're one of those who stress out over biometric scans of fingerprints, hand prints or eyeballs, our friends at Japan's Advanced Institute of Industrial Technology have developed something just for you -- butt scans!

The developers say the technology could be used not only to protect vehicles from theft but also, when connected to a computer, to prevent log-ons by those with unauthorized tushes! (TechCrunch)
