It’s not exclusively a voice print. The Computer also has a verified identity chain for the person speaking — it is aware of where everyone on the ship is and who they are, against a manifest, at all times.

    Then how can Data assume control of the ship just by using other people’s voices and codes?

    Data has no biometrics and is therefore exempt?

    But wouldn’t the computer then a) never recognize any command given by Data (as Data)?, and 2) not recognize any command from Data pretending to be someone else because that someone else is elsewhere in the ship?
