I think it would of been a bit much to ask to have a touch ID in the new iPads, these products have probably been in productions for way along before the 5s has been out and there was no guarantee it would be a success
Talking hyperthetically, if there was a major problem when the 5s shipped with the touch ID it would of been too late for the iPads and apple would of been open to major ridicule
Definitely on the next interation of iPad unfortunately but for now, swipe to open
On the other I would of liked to of thought apple would of been that confident with the software and hardware in touch ID in the 5s even before the 5s launched that it would of put it in the iPad air, but that's just me thinking, these are million dollar decisions they are making and more than likely playing it safe
