They're not oriented properly, but if you notice the pattern of how they were taken, it's not too bad. Also, there is an Excel file if you download a picture package that includes the GPS coordinates. You can use something like MSN mappoint to get the Lat and Long of an address (It's in the address bar after you submit and address, try googling it)
Most biometric systems are flawed in the fact that people change. I suppose the only system that isn't too flawed, is a retinal system because if you screw your eye over, you probably have bigger problems to deal with than your files. What do you do when you get a cut on your finger, burn it on the stove,...walk into a wall. For the system to make files more secure than short password they require many data points samples from the source. That means more chances for [something as simple as] swelling from hitting your head to screw up the decoding.
"Hey Timmy how's it goin"
"awww shucks, bad I guess"
"Why's that"
"Remember yesterday when you smashed me in the face with that iron rebar, well, now it'll be a week till I can use my computer again"
So how does one avoid this, you have a backup password that you can use, but oh wait, doesn't that completely contradict the point of biometric security.

I look forward to the day when data center security is standardized and one hacker can bring down the whole world.
