Odd,
1. captcha(?)
In my millennia of experience I never saw a captcha used as a mean
for DC access control. Just as a programmatic way to reduce brute force
for some website functions.
On my network janitor keychain I have (in order of hackability from
easiest to hardest)
1. keycard only
2. keycard + fingerprints
3. keycard + face (2d)
4a. keycard + eye
4b. keycard + top of hand mapping
But all the DCs, I deal with, have highrez cameras and tailgating
controls... Biometrics are just a part of a wider system.

If the current best operating practice is to avoid biometrics, why are they
still in use out here?
(1) for the same reason some idiots still use captchas
(2) new hotness > old and busted, regardless of merits
(3) because they facilitate coerced risk transference away from the
people who are actually responsible (and are paid to be so) to the
people who shouldn't be responsible (and aren't paid to be)
