Comment on Ask HN: Does airport fingerprinting compromise my biometric security?parent

Comments

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?
