So far, nobody has demonstrated an attack that is able to break the fingerprint reader by reading fingerprints off of the device (or another surface). The attack demonstrated by CCC requires them to take a high resolution photograph of your finger. It is likely substantially harder to just lift a good enough quality fingerprint to defeat the system.
