      Apple does not get your biometric data. Not sure about google, but I’m assuming they do it in a similar fashion.

      Putting in a PIN 50 times per day carries its own risks in terms of it being captured by cameras or seen by a roommate/SO

      Convenience mostly, like a lot of aspects of security there is no one correct answer. And it is never an option between total security and none at all. It all depends on your risk vs convenience level, and it is usually a sliding scale between those two (some times other factors as well)

      You can enter lockdown mode before going through customs, or disable biometrics

        Yeah… If you’re dumb enough to give your biometrics over because its convenient then I have little to no sympathy for you.

        And honestly? More things should be inconvenient we as a society are far too coddled with comforts and convenience. Its why no one fucking thinks for themselves anymore and are perfectly happy to lap up AI slop. Decades of Capitalist conveniences and comfort have made people lazy, complacent and unwilling or unable to fight for ourselves and others. Toovafraid to lose their Convenience.
