Well, you probably should not be using your finger print to unlock *anything* anyway. Most of those sensors are (or at least used to be) fairly easily fooled.

The ruling does not apply to all cases in which biometrics are used to unlock an electronic device but is a significant decision in an unsettled area of the law.

Jeremy Travis Payne said. "To date, neither the Supreme Court nor any of our sister circuits have addressed whether the compelled use of a biometric to unlock an electronic device is testimonial."
