So I was messing with the phone settings and in the security section and it turns out I have a few options.
Register my face
Register my fingerprint
Register my irises.

...and I am thinking...boiled frog, anyone?

Why the hell would I give any of that info away?

      Yes, and I noticed that no one here posted anything about Congress's recent vote to renew our Big Brother warrant-less surveillance programs in the U.S.

Maybe you could submit your DNA like a certain genius with a fake diploma from Harvard did. Now a private company owns the patent on his DNA. Yeah, a friggin genius that one.

It's what your socialist friends want you to do so that they can not only track your present moves, but also predict your future moves, based on your established patterns.  They can see what stores you use, what strip clubs and casinos you frequent, how often you use banking services, either at the ATM or with a live teller.   They are already tracking your car movements with your toll fee badges, traffic cameras at intersections, speed cameras on the highways, etc. etc.

Why would you give it away?   Hell, YOU are the one who is voting for and approving these Orwellian ideas of giving away YOUR info..
You need to wake up and start kicking out the Democrats in your state government before it is truly too late.
WE HAVE TRIED TO WARN YOU REPEATEDLY!!!!!!

If you go to most any major department store, grocery store, or home improvement store, they will track your smart phone. They will then know which aisles you walk down, where you stop and linger, and how long you are in the store.
I turn off my phone when I go shopping.

One used to be able to eliminate all tracking in the settings - general & privacy tabs, absent .gov and LE agencies.
They have protective cases for smart phones. Or stick your phone in a Mylar bag (potato chip bag), an old film bag or just wrap it in tin foil. Then you probably won't forget to turn it back on.

Why this man who barged in on his cheating wife could go to jail for 15 years

A husband caught his wife cheating, and now he’s facing up to 15 years in jail.

Sean Donis’s wife, Nancy Donis, 38, said she was going to dinner. Donis stayed behind to watch their 5-year-old son. When he couldn’t find his iPad, he turned on the Find My iPhone app to locate it.

The software showed the electronic device moving toward an unknown location; he had a hunch that his wife had taken it, and he decided to follow. He arrived at a house and opened the unlocked door. On the second floor, he found his wife in bed with her boss, Albert Lopez, 58. With his iPhone, he recorded two brief videos of them in bed.

The New Jersey man got a letter last July informing him that a grand jury had indicted him on charges of felony burglary and unlawful surveillance for the April 2016 incident.

“I feel like it’s unjust what they’re doing to me,” said Donis, 37, to the New York Post in September. “It’s like I’m being punished twice.”

He appeared in court in September, where he pleaded not guilty. His second appearance happened on Friday.

“I was in fear,” Lopez testified of the moment when Donis caught him in bed with his wife. “I kept telling him, you need to get out of here,” Lopez told the jury hearing Donis’s felony burglary case.

Donis’s wife worked for Lopez as the billing manager for his orthopedics practice.

Lopez said he was so desperate to get the enraged husband out of his home that he asked Donis “if he wanted to die.”

“Kill me. I don’t care,” he said the desperate husband responded.

The incident left Lopez traumatized. “I couldn’t go to sleep. I had repeated memories of what occurred. I started to go through the house and check all the doors and make sure they were locked,” he said.

Lopez also noted that Donis’s wife said they were separated, and he thought Donis was out of the picture.

The husband’s lawyer, Howard Greenberg, told jurors that the husband actually “deserves a medal,” not a prison sentence, for uncovering his wife’s unfaithfulness without physically harming his rival.

“The defendant should be given a medal for the amount of restraint he showed when he entered that scene,” Greenberg told the jury.

However, despite the fact that Lopez slept with Donis’s wife, prosecutor Nabeela Mcleod asserted that Lopez was a victim — a victim of Donis’s breaking and entering his home and recording him and Donis’s wife without their consent (Donis shared the videos with his wife’s relatives). He now faces a possible maximum sentence of 15 years in prison.

The "common good," Cheese Burgher?  That's a good one...

So much for the Bill of Rights, eh?
