Touch ID isn’t that secure. It’s fine for personal devices, but I wouldn’t trust it alone in a government or cooperate environment.

A ~1:50,000 error rate per finger added sounds fine, but lose a few laptops and have multiple valid fingerprints etc and the odds quickly look significantly worse. Or a janitor could end up trying to log into a significant number of machines etc.
