Unsupervised, all the biometric systems I'm aware of are just not
all that hard to work around and defeat. Thus you need human
supervision at the point of use. Given that, you might as well just
drop the biometric thing in favour of a card and PIN, and a person
who visually identifies everyone using these to gain access to
whatever is being protected.
