@eff then that's not a safe mode to block your devices, nor fingerprint, pin codes still best option.
The Simpsons had a surprising solution to this in their most recent episode.
Don't use your face for Face ID. Use your butt instead. The police will never guess that that's why the Face ID doesn't match.
Well, guess what? 55% of San Franciscans thought it was really smart to pass proposition E.
One of the provisions in that proposition granted the police, the right to scan people鈥檚 faces, or to begin scanning people鈥檚 faces without any say from the city council.
In other words by a slight majority, San Francisco residence, voted away their sovereignty to the cops, and whatever billionaire has been stuffing their pockets
not counting the horrendous error rate.
