May have something to do with our over-zealous law enforcement as of late. Did you know, the police can now force you to use your finger to unlock your phone so they can rifle through it? They can't force you to give your passcode though. They're probably twisting the legislation that allows them to take fingerprints to make this legal.
so yeah... touch-id is less secure than passcode. not that a lot of them don't already have software that will break past most or all mobile security as it is, but for now touch-id just makes it easer and quicker for them to invade your privacy.
