Obvious outcome was obvious.
I mean, they have been doing the use a body part from someone they killed to bypass biometrics in sci fi movies for decades. For example, Back to the Future II had a criminal gang doing the severed finger trick in 1989 and I doubt it was the earliest one.
Vonnegut wrote a novel where a recluse sent all his orders to employees on paper with his fingerprints as verification. Someone mistakenly murders another person and severs their hands to obtain the fingerprints in it. I can't remember which one, though, and searching didn't help.
