Does that mean I gotta get a new phone?

The obvious solution would be not allow anyone with a name like “Paytsar Bkhchadzhyan” in the country.

I cannot believe the courts have not clarified this. A court can’t force me to give up a password yet they can force my finger to unlock a device?! Incredible.

If you are worried about someone using information on your iPhone, all you have to do is turn it off.
Once they turn it back on, it will require the passcode -- it won't accept a fingerprint to unlock it.
To: Swordmaker
The judges could have as easily ordered the owner of the phone to give up the password

Only use a password or phrase, and you could refuse and say that the password is the name of a person you murdered, and if divulge the password, you are incriminating yourself.
To: Swordmaker
Isn’t the fingerprint pattern translated into a digital code? Doesn’t that mean it’s actually a “password”?

I don’t have an I-phone or a smart phone, just a Trak-phone with a few numbers and nothing else stored in it. It doesn’t even have a built in camera

The Miranda rule: "You have the right to remain silent." should cover this.

If they show up at your house with a warrant and you don’t let them in, it’s up to them to kick the door down.

If they say they can force you to give a fingerprint to unlock the phone, there goes the fingerprint as your password - or any other biometric form of ID.

How does touch ID work if your calling 911 for an ambulance after the accident, and your hands are covered with blood?

I quit using touch ID and use a really long passcode (to prevent the sort of brute force attack made possible by 3rd party on San Bernardino phone)

Seriously, there is no, and can be no, easy way to data security. But with minimal guidance, even an ordinary person can make their data so secure that it is not worth the effort to break through it.
