Is the new fingerprint sensor another way for big brother to get more fingerprints on their database? getting more info about us?
 
According to Apple, the fingerprints will not be uploaded to Apple servers and will remain on your phone.

I like how they had to get the dude with the eyebrows to emphasise that bit. They obviously anticipated this question :p

If it bothers you, keep using the passcode and paint over the button or get a different phone.

.gov already has my fingerprints many times over, so it's a moot issue to me.
