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

This is simply untrue, and anyone who follows this advice will fail a NIST audit: https://csrc.nist.gov/glossary/term/multi_factor_authenticat....

All three factors have different security properties. The big downside of biometric factors is that they can't be replaced when compromised. You can't play language games and say "oh, I technically /have/ fingerprints" and pretend that changes their security properties.
