It's an authorization key that once it gets out it can't be replaced. I imagine it's only a matter if tine before the palm suggests get stolen and are used to spoof authorization.

the real issue with biometrics is that you can't properly secure them. you can hash a password, but a palm/finger/eye scan cannot use a zero knowledge proof. they also change over time and can be mimicked using a photo taken from a smartphone camera.
