I wish that phone manufacturers would respond to this by allowing you to set one of your fingers as a biometric kill switch.
If you scan your index finger - biometrics disabled. Middle finger gets you in. Then these forced unlockings would go nowhere pretty fast.
- mhb 7y agoSure, but obviously the middle finger should be the one that disables the biometrics.
- justusthane 7y agoI know you're making a joke, but no, it should be the obvious finger that disables biometrics.
- clort 7y agoobviously, it should be different on every phone..
- apendleton 7y agoYou'd have to make it silent, otherwise the kill switch finger would still confirm that the phone is yours, even if it didn't divulge the contents.

- AWildC182 7y agoDon't even need software for this. Just tell them all but one of your fingers will wipe the flash but they get to figure out which one it is!
- darkarmani 7y ago> but they get to figure out which one it is! Ah! They can't force you to tell them something you know. Next we will have the equivalent of port knocking using a sequence of fingers.

- cr0sh 7y agoProtip: All your fingers will wipe the device... ...but your left middle toe will work ok. /does this ruling say anything about toes?
- craftyguy 7y agoOr, you could just use a passphrase to unlock your device instead. Problem solved.
