Once Apple has licensed this fingerprint sensor for use in other devices there will be a number of possible attack vectors which, sadly, will probably make my concerns seem rather tame.
There was no necessity for owning/intending to own but the title of the thread is the "iPhone 5S, 5C Announced" and you seemed to be seriously concerned about the "terrible" consequences and possibilities of using this fingerprint sensor (which is only on these phones" so my comment, about not getting one, is entirely reasonable - I didn't realise that you were responding to future threats from currently non-existent devices (Apple isn't exactly known for licensing its hardware to other companies)... OK, try tubemonkey's security then...
