That little thing called democracy elected Hitler, elected Hamas, and made slavery legal for nearly one hundred years. Don't think that it being the will of the people, makes the evil of Trump and his agenda justifiable. Americans who voted for Trump will have to live with their choice. Let's just hope America is around in 4 years and that elections take place.

Get over yourself........For the sky to fall congress, senate and everyone in between would need to be complicit. America will roll on.

I've seen this coming for years. If they want the Chinese market and also the Indian (Indian govt. will eventually force aadhar support) they will have to bend for this stuff. It's inevitable. It'll be interesting to see how they deal with this because their security is one of their main marketing advantages. If they do bend in China but not to the US I'll be ready to leave apple. They likely make the terrorists jobs a lot easier through their obstructionist ways. 

If China asks manufacturers for something similar I bet Apple would bend.

The times where login biometrics are stored in a govt repository are surely coming. Requiring identification techniques like this would help defeat fraud and also help tracking of terrorists (they often hand off phones to one another to deceive govt snoopers tracking them). As Europe descends into a pseudo police state I'm sure they would like to have something like this.
