Biometric readers aren't going to be cheap, reliable and small enough to be installed in every shop, restaurant, bar, post offic, etc., any time soon, so the card will still be needed, and will usually be accepted based on the photo rather than any high-tech unbreakable biometic scanner. Not that any biometric scanners have been demonstrated as unbreakable yet.
