I have found that guys can use their penis as a fingerprint. Reliability may vary given whatever state of arousal you're at, but good luck trying to get me to whip it out to unlock my phone.
Ladies, I'm not sure how practical this idea may be for you, but the same concept just might work for nipples as well.
Your device should be private to you, so if it takes locking it using your physical privates, well do whatever you gotta do.
Disclaimer: I've only done very limited testing on this, but it actually did work for me.
Somehow I think whipping my cock out to unlock my phone will be frowned upon in most situations...
Quite true, but of course I wouldn't expect anyone to do that in public.
That's like the entire idea, I'm pretty sure they can't legally force you to undress to unlock and inspect your phone.
My point is; the purpose of biometric unlock is convenience, especially since it doesn't disable pin/pass. If you can't use it in most situations, you may as well just use a pin/password. You gain absolutely nothing by setting up your penis to unlock your device...
With relation to border inspections: you get ordered to unlock devices for border security to inspect. If you refuse, you'll either be refused entry and turned away or you'll be detained until access is gained (willfully or through cracking tools). The US has demonstrated much more willingness to detain people at the border and hold them for months without charge, so I wouldn't push it. To be clear; your 'rights' against unlawful search and seizure do not apply at the border, even for US citizens.
Don't store anything you don't want border security to see on a device you're bringing through a border checkpoint. Store it on a remote server and retrieve it as necessary.
I hear you loud and clear, the right to privacy has gone to shit.
Meanwhile, you know how small MicroSD cards are right? You could store one of those in a hollowed out coin (which would dual function as something of a Faraday Cage) to carry your data, without carrying any active device.
