The answers, of course, are no on the first part and yes on the second. The scanner can distinguish between a finger and toe because each has to be set up separately. In the review he linked to and in many others it is mentioned that other fingerprints not set up do not unlock it.

It being an optional feature is not opinion. That is a fact. My opinion is that that fact doesn't seem to be sinking in. Since people are misreading things all over this thread, the bold caps makes the point clear. Again, if you don't like it, you can follow your own advice and not read it.

And holymadness, myself, and every review I have read disagree with you for reasons that have been well covered at this point. You are entitled to your opinion. But I believe the only way it will hold true and the scanner won't convince more people to use security would be if it doesn't work as well as Apple claims. That remains to be seen. Will it be convenient enough to convince everybody to use it? Of course not. But it will be more convenient and more secure than than current methods.
