for me this is not the reason you should be careful using fingerprints for security. I don't use touch ID because I'm concerned that if I'm ever arrested, the police could a) force me to unlock it, b) unlock it while I sleep. The same goes for people I sleep in the same room as.

I think it's silly to have a security measure that can be passed while you're not even conscious

If you're worried about being compelled to enter your Touch ID, just mess up entering your fingerprint five times or turn off the device, and the device will no longer accept Touch ID.
