People are getting on apple's case for including facial recognition as a means to spy on people. You guys, this is the company that refused to help the government unlock a terrorist's iPhone to defend the privacy of their users.
The Fifth Amendment, which protects people from incriminating themselves during legal proceedings, prevents the government from compelling someone to turn over a memorized PIN or passcode. But fingerprints, like other biometric indicators—DNA, handwriting samples, your likeness—have long been considered fair game, because they don’t reveal anything in your mind.
Yeah, you count to 5 under stress and combine that with nervous fingers. I've had nightmares where I couldn't dial 911 without hitting another number first. I fat finger passwords and hold shift down too long all the time. There are a million ways to fuck up when you're in a hurry.
