> At the same time, biometric sensors raise questions of security. When Apple’s sensor was announced on Tuesday, a flurry of skepticism and privacy concerns erupted online even though Apple said users’ fingerprints would be stored only on the phone — not sent to online servers or made available to app developers. Yes, the thumbprint is going to be the bane of the iPhone 5s. It is a horrible idea. They think phones are completely personal. They aren't. I share mine with my daughters all of the time. Sometimes my wife needs to use it. It is going to be a problem. I'm not sure if thumbprints are worse or Microsoft's racist facial recognition that wouldn't recognize very dark African Americans.
