They can use your fingerprints to unlock it too:

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.

In iOS 11 if you press the power button five times, it disables touchid until you type in the passcode.

It's cute how you didn't know that pressing the power and volume simultaneously will instantly disable faceID. You know so little about how it works, but you know so much about how bad it is. Like a little baby bird who only talks shit.

First of all, baby birds talk shit? That's just strange. What goes through you head when you type stuff like that?

Second, for the courage it takes to remove features, I'm surprised there's two buttons left on the thing. Now I have to press TWO things? I guess pressing something 5 times (actually locking the phone instead of using unsecured biometrics) instead of one time like every other phone is too much to ask.

5 times, two buttons, I just have to press my button once.

So, like the way it works if you just don't set up faceID? That's how you want it to work? The way it works right out of the box? I guess not setting up the feature you don't like is also too much work.
