At this point, most of my threat models are on this level or the next one higher--local cops or dumb goons grab a protestor or whatever and try to shake his photos and whatever digital else out of him..."OK punk, you're not calling a lawyer until you show me what's on this thing"..."Don't tell me nothing's in there I see a login prompt, ya' commie faggot...open it up."

This could of course be done without the thumbprint (probably better), but I think that only when you get -really- dangerous do you have to worry about highly technical people who are informed of the latest info gadgets, and who would even know there are multiple private areas.

As for the thumbprint, I'm wondering if other parts of the body could be used (then even very savvy rubberhosers couldn't just make you try every finger). I'll try using my, um, nose tonight.
