It depends on the fingerprint reader. They don't all make a simple image of your finger to check the fingerprint. It seems Wikipedia has a nice article about it, so I'll just shup up: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fingerprint_authentication But yeah, you'd want to use it only for local authentication.
