It seems dangerous to have the scanner on the device and I don't trust it to be safe. It's the print I'm concerned with not the hashes and crypto that connect you to payment. This is something enticing to authorities and I'm sure they'll want to figure out how to get it.

Well, getting the actual fingerprint is probably like getting the original message out of a hash function...

So they can want all day, at the end, entropy wins (by design in this case).
