    Norwegian police will force a 27-year-old man accused of drug possession to unlock his mobile phone via fingerprint, according to local website Bergensavisen [Google Translate]. The police believe the confiscated smartphone may contain evidence about where he obtained the illegal substance.

    Needless to say Biometric security is not at all reliable in situations where an adversary can simply press your thumb print into a reader. AFAIK The iPhone Touch ID cannot be used in addition to a security code, which is a shame as it could be used as a type of 2FA.
