Matt Blaze@dangoodin@infosec.exchange @adamshostack@infosec.exchange The warrant authorizes them to obtain the biometric, but doesn't compel the journalist to cooperate. For that they need an order to the journalist (which they could probably get, but it's not the search warrant).

OK, thanks.
Andrew Zonenberg@dangoodin@infosec.exchange @mattblaze@federate.social @adamshostack@infosec.exchange Does this perhaps make faceid slightly more risky than fingerprinting (e.g. you can ball up your hands and refuse consent to have your finger scanned but hiding your face while handcuffed is difficult)?
Is there case law on this yet?
Dan Goodin@azonenberg@ioc.exchange @mattblaze@federate.social @adamshostack@infosec.exchange
Closing your eyes prevents face ID from working in all cases I'm aware of. Still pretty easy to do that, even in cuffs (which I'm guessing the journo was not).

Matt Blaze@rrb@infosec.exchange @dangoodin@infosec.exchange @azonenberg@ioc.exchange @adamshostack@infosec.exchange This is literally the origin of the term "mug shot". Arrestees would scrunch up their faces when photographed to make themselves less recognizable.
