      it’s an analogy that applies to me. tldr worrying about having my identity stolen via physical access to my phone isn’t part of my threat model. i live in a safe city, and i don’t have anything the police could find to incriminate me. everyone is going to have a different threat model. some people need to brick up their windows

              That’s not retrieving the biometric data from the device, that’s retrieving the biometric data from surveillance or physical interaction.
              It’s quite specifically the type of threat that most people do not need to worry about.

                  That’s a much better example.

                  Physical access to the device by a sophisticated attacker is well outside the realm of most people’s risk profile.
