Apple has already stated how these files are stored. It's encrypted file stored on the processor. If somebody did actually manage to get that encrypted data there is virtually nothing at all they could do with it. And the scanner isn't made available to 3rd party applications.
In all reality this means your fingerprint is far more secure in the phone than pretty much any other place it may reside.
But if you're still worried, tubemonkey appears to have a solution.
