Fingerprint readers/detectors read the ridges/grooves on a finger. To forge a fingerprint you only need to cover the finger with a pliant material which takes the impression of someone else's fingerprint.

To counter this attack on the scanner, use an ultrasonic vibration to breakup the structure of the material.

Seems it'd be dangerous to put your finger there...
