It's only as reliable as the number of details it's programmed to match for.
AFAIK neither manual or automatic search for non-matches, ie where a loop should be there's a swirl, as the fingerprint could be rotated or smudged.

Either way, having arrivals able to enter the departure lounge is illogical and a major security risk which should not have been allowed in the first place.
