Putting the privacy concerns aside for a moment - I can't think of a single device where fingerprint recognition is a more appropriate unlock method.
Fingerprint scanning technology on their phones seems great to Apple buyers now -- until it gets cracked and sold to the highest bidder or worse used by governments for whatever they want. It's a technology begging to be abused.
I know most govts already have most of our fingerprints but it also exposes people who have reasons to be anonymous (dissidents, whistleblowers, witnesses, minors, etc.).@Hugo it looks like Queball is a troller. LOLZ.@George: regarding criminals using the fringerprint technology on their iPhones--I think Darwin's law applies here.
