Can Apple be Trusted with our Thumbprints?
So a friend asked me if Apple can be trusted with thumb prints? And can the govt ask apple to provide thumb prints? Interesting questions. Post NSA we know companies can be compelled to give what they would not prefer to provide...
Thoughts?

Okay, fine. But my bedrock point is that your thumbprint is already available, starting from your birth certificate and continuing up to everything you touched today: every doorknob, coffee cup, juice glass, ...and yes, your phone.
I use my thumb print feature, but I use my iPhone for little else than calls, texts, and as a hotspot. I don't not use technology, I am just more selective about the technology I use. I try to make as few, small and light footprints as I can. Because in cyberspace we are walking on the moon, not the beach. Our footprints stay there forever.
