I'm going to play Devil's Advocate here.
Does anyone consider that a fingerprint scanner is a privacy issue? I know they "say" that your prints are stored locally, and do you believe that 100%, or would you consider that they could go to a database somewhere, accessed by anyone who wants to know about you?
No, I'm not a conspiracist, but a realist. This crap is made to look like a convenience to the user, when in actuality, it is another sucker way of getting you to relinquish that information without a second thought. If someone would walk up to you on the street and ask you to print yourself for them, would you do it? Hell no. So why would you trust that a cell phone, whom we all know isn't secure, to contain that information about you?
I don't own a device that scans my prints. I am aware that my devices listen to what's going on around me, and I know that they track my every move - wherever I may roam. They tally my browsing habits, my shopping habits, etc etc ect. I get it that there is a trade-off between electronic convenience and security, but the fingerprint scanner seems like one method we just don't need to adapt to.
