It's pretty well established that any biometric can just be taken from you

facial recognition is super easy and it won't be hard to force your thumb onto the sensor.

This is also the case for things like blood draw for blood alcohol testing.

The only unlock key that's (probably) truly yours is something inside your brain.

Being well established and being valid are two different things.
