Actually, you should have stopped there. I mean, it's been a while since I've been in high school but if this is the kind of stuff you're worrying about these days I weep for the future.

What is the point about talking about a "What If Story" since we do not even know what will be on the 5S?
Keep the phone in your underwear, I am sure no one will reach down there to grab it, or use it or touch it if they knew your phone was there, sure fire way to keep friends away from your phone.
Agreed. I don't see Apple incorporating a fingerprint scanner in the next iPhone if ever.
I was walking around the mall recently, and there was a teenage girl walking around with very short low cut shorts plus a crop top. Guess where she had her phone? Stuck down in her shorts, right in the middle. All I could think of at the moment was --- does she have it set to vibrate on ring?
how will you go about one of these douchebags stealing your wallet and running up your credit cards before you know?
And while we're on what ifs, what if someone records me unlocking my phone, steals it, unlocks it and ruins my life!
I can't believe you all are taking this post seriously. CLEARLY this is satirizing the types of posts that show up here on MR on a daily basis.
I am clearly a very successful troll. Which is fun, because I honestly didn't even try!
This wasn't a serious example, but it is something similar to what I'd expect a lot of people complaining about should this technology hit the market with the next-gen iPhone.
Anyways it looks like you are far more afraid of my ungodly way of life than the "threat" of the rumored fingerprint scanner mixed with alcohol. Is that a good thing? A bad thing? I have no idea.

I've been passed out drunk from time to time and never had a friend mess with my phone. And I don't even keep a PIN on it. Don't really see it as an issue.
Too bad you did not start calling her, then it would have been like a scene from the movie "When Harry Met Sally with Billy Crystal" LOL
Honestly, you need to 1. relax, 2. maybe get some new friends? If you're super paranoid about this, then take steps to ensure it doesn't happen by, say, using a character string passcode instead? I know your post is full of sarcasm but you still need to relax I think.
Yes.
I don't live 2 lives. One where I deceive an employer, girl, etc that I'm an upstanding guy and the other where I do things that I'd regret being aired on the nightly news or internet.
the way to make it work is you would scan your finger to get to the passcode then you enter your PW.
But I feel we should already be hearing a lot of this.
Although fingerprint hasn't been introduced in any phones, we already have face unlock from Android since jellybean. Like, if you are drunk, and someone can just point your phone to your face and unlock it. I don't see any Android face unlock ruined my life scenarios.
