So, stand behind the PHB when he buys a round and you've suddenly got his password on the LAN and access to the corporate back account!!!

No, the recording may not be that good but the device just thinks you have a cold and lets the guy spend at will.

If it works anything like voice dialing on cell phones, I'll pass. And what if the guy behind you in line records your voice as you say your password and later is able to get ahold of your card.
