And not just any fingerprint recognition: Steve Morton built fingerprint recognition into the trigger of a gun so it could be fired only by its owner or by any group of people whose fingerprints were programmed to be recognized by the gun. That product development decision, which on its face makes a lot of sense in a violent world where children sometimes play with guns, almost killed the company. It wasn't that the project was too ambitious: Morton built successful prototypes that could have been produced at a reasonable cost. But the gun makers wanted no part of it. "The fingerprint business was frustrating," Morton recalls. "Nobody would partner with us for liability reasons. There was just no support, and of course, the National Rifle Association hated it. People would see our demonstrations and predict we'd soon be rich, but it never happened. We got lots of good press, and I was on national TV several times, but we couldn't sell a thing."
