This technology would be nice to have if it wasn't for the fact that all this information you share with your smartphone goes to an NSA server in Utah. People are voluntarily sharing private info with their smartphone not realizing it's all being sent off elsewhere. What better way to set up a spy state than to do it through a neat, trendy, and handy device that everybody worships? The government wants to get everybody's fingerprint.....how can they do it? Twenty years ago it would have required inking every person's fingers at the police station; nobody would have accepted that. Now everybody is volunteering to do it via their "cool" smartphone. So keep sharing your info (fingerprints, Facebook, Twitter, etc.) but it's going to come b...

Doubt it. My cell phone is on an account under my dad's name with 8 other people. So if we all had our fingerprints registered on our phones then they would have 9 different peoples fingerprints showing under one name.

Plus, why does Samsung only allow you to only register 3 fingers then? If they were trying to get everyone prints on file I would think they would get them to allow you to register them all, or even put as part of the set up some encouragement to register all of them.

Not buying it.

Which of course is easily tied to an actual real persons identity when you start tying in email accounts or payments, or connections to your other online accounts. Just think about all the personally identifiable info that's tied to your primary email or even a secondary.

Absolutely. There are many ignorant, gullible, naive sheeple out there that say "duh, the government wouldn't do anything bad" and then you can go look at Germany in the 1930s, Soviet Union in the 1920s, China in the 1950s. Everyone trusted their government and it had disastrous end results. As far as "I have nothing to hide" well how do you know what they are looking for? Maybe you don't think you're doing anything wrong, but they say you are. They determine it, not you. If you have nothing to hide, then the government shouldn't have anything to hide as well. They can trace all your digital activities. Like you said, your email, your digital wallet, your Ebay account, your Facebook account....all that can be used to identify who you...
