In light of Apple's announcement yesterday about Touch ID, a way to unlock the new iPhone with your fingerprint, I was hoping to hear someone weigh in on how safe it is compared to a passcode. I'd love to simply use my fingerprint as long as it meets HIPAA requirements for protecting sensitive emails and other data on my phone, but this Forbes article is suggesting the risk of spoofing fingerprints is still too great: http://www.forbes.com/sites/andygreenberg/2013/09/10/apples-... |

You can't repudiate your fingerprints.
Similar, worse problems for iris and DNA.
Imagine being on a watch list that you can't get off of.
This is not a good road to go down.
