What happens when you get a cut on your finger, or have on a band-aid? That CHANGES your fingerprint! You might be locked out of your own phone. And in an emergency, no on else could use it, either.

My work switched to finger print scanners about a decade ago, they worked great! If you had a problem using the scanner, you could still enter your ID and password. I loved it.

About a year later they came through and removed all the scanners with out ever telling us why. I still miss them, I have to enter my password about 30 times a day.

I'd be really surprised if it wouldn't allow anyone to dail 911 with the phone, regardless of fingerprint.

If the NSA didn't already have a copy of my fingerprints, I'd be concerned about the phone shipping it to them.

You can program multiple fingers . . .
