Ever have your hands full when you get home just to have to drop everything to get your keys? I think we should have a "Smart Key" that registers with your locks on your doors and unlocks them when you are within 4 feet and even releases the latch. That way pushing the door open is all you have to do.

An Iris Scanner would be a method to do this and the camera, speaker, microphone combination could double as a video intercom when you are inside.

The following link provides a more detailed method of using an Iris Scanner to ensure the person is present and alive.
