The door scanner may be easily fooled, but the computer login scanner they worked on is a bit more sophisticated. The "sub-epidermal" scan is actually what a gelatin synthetic fingerprint with a latex skin would duplicate fairly well.
It's important to note the scanner isn't an imaging sensor (I.E. camera) so touch and skin conductivity are still fair game.
