I don't think so. But it might be a great feature for enterprise BYOD/CYOD initiatives - having a two factor authorization integrated into the phone (fingerprint + application pwd) could give Apple a significant advantage here. But what do you think will happen regarding police? If they can access your phone, they'll be able to take your fingerprints anyway. If they get access to the cloud data, there a more interesting parts in the data than the finger print hashes: Getting a few biometric data points from the cloud can be considered the same as a hash - its not the complete fingerprint that would be stored inside the cloud (and storage in the cloud would likely be optional). Some 3rd party can't even match the hashes to a real person - could be your child, significant other, ... using the phone registered to your name. Law enforcement, government, ... on the other hand have already access to finger prints (complete prints/sets) for a lot a travelers, citizens and of cause criminals.
