Well, first you remember that a biometric is an identifier, not an authorizer. So the bank offers you a form with your safe deposit box: do you want anyone else to have access to it? Do you only want them to have access once you're dead? Those people go an ACL. It's not unusual; banks already require similar things for IRAs and other retirement accounts where it's plausible that you will end up dead before using them. -dsr- -dsr-
