Probably not worth worrying strictly about the info gathered by airport security unless you're a person of interest, either to that nation or it's allies. If you're that interesting to whoever, all bets are off. Plenty of other ways to get info off phone.
FWIW I really don't recommend just fingerprint for phone access. You can change a PIN if someone else gets a hold of it, there's not much you can do to change your fingerprints.

Though the traveler may not be particularly interesting, their employer’s trade secrets or database access might be up there.
Perhaps. I would hope that anyone accessing confidential information on a phone with such flimsy security would understand the risks they're taking.
If not then I'd question what their IT department was doing not forcing a least PIN unlock on the phone.
So it is a legitimate concern after all?
