Exactly. I'm more worried about if someone can make a mask of someone's face (or even a print out) and get it to work.

But at least it's not like people have pictures of their faces plastered across every social network...

... crap.

As others have said, those who have tried masks haven't worked. But I wonder if normal masks have different heat signatures than real faces, which an IR array can detect. It's possible that something as simple as standard mask + heat would fool the system. Hopefully not!
Apple specifically mentioned testing with high-end masks, and there have been videos made about people attempting it. It doesn’t work.
