At my school, we do lazer eye scans and then they take hair samples to make sure nobody pulled a charlies angels bit.
Taking attendance so stringently is a sign of a school with no faith in the parents of their students.
It's also a sign of parents with no faith in their children. Wait, that's the entirety of America. Nevermind.
The method my school used was calling off the students names/looking around the class and marking them in attendance. It worked pretty well- only bad if th teacher forgot you showed up late or missed you when doing attendance.
I honestly think that until schools move to the internet, that is the best method. It is hard to skip under it and it is simple enough it can't break down. What if the head scanner breaks? What happens then? You probably end up taking roll call. ^_^
At my university they don't even take attendance - if you miss class and miss the notes, then you're screwed for the exams and it isn't the professor's problem.
