More interesting is the prediction that phone thieves will lift
    their victims' fingerprints and use them to bypass the readers. As
    German Interior Minister Wolfgang Schauble discovered, you leak your
    fingerprints all the time, and once your fingerprint has been
    compromised, you can't change it. (Schauble was pushing for
    biometric identity cards; playful Chaos Computer Club hackers lifted
    his fingerprints off a water-glass after a debate and published
    10,000 copies of them on acetate as a magazine insert).
