Right now, you can only use a fingerprint to authenticate to the device. It's not so far-fetched to one day have the OS offer to link fingerprints to an app, and to let an app limit how many registered fingerprints is accepts (unified

Who is "we"? Recipients like getting money, obviously. Non-recipients generally don't have the power to interfere. The US government has that power, but the US government is beholden to the Saudis' control over oil.
