Re: Where and how the info gets handled
I don't think people have yet embraced the fingerprint option universally.  The biometrics are too simple right now.  Witness the Chinese hacker who made a mold of a fingertip using Play Doh to gain entry to the user's phone or the German hacker who managed to take a high resolution picture of German Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen's finger, and reverse engineer that to unlock her phone.

Now, these methods aren't really viable to hack phones on a mass scale, but it is a hack nonetheless, which of course gives some of us pause.

Re: Privacy Issues As Well
Very good points!

Yeah it's all a little scary. No one takes the time to read the user agrreements anymore and for all they know they could be signing over their life. I, myself, am guilty of doing this. I know even with the iphones there's a certain setting with the new update, a few months ago, and your iphone can always tell where you are at. I turned mine off as soon as I realized this. It's so scary anyone can know where you are and it's a huge invasion of privacy.

Re: Where and how the info gets handled
I first finally started using the fingerprint option on my iPhone a few months ago. Not sure why it took me so long to warn up to the idea, but now I'm hooked. :)
