As a joke, I tried to add my penis as an authorized "finger" to unlock my iPhone 5s.

Do you keep it set on 'vibrate'?

Fingerprint ID hacked by photographing a fingerprint and creating a fake finger. This is obviously the route Anthony Weiner was attempting. We didn't give him enough credit for his technical prowess.
On a side note, the article says there's 1 chance in 50,000 that two fingerprints are alike. There are over 300 million people in America. Makes fingerprint evidence seem a little less certain.
And in conclusion, even a quite large penis will fit in slot intended to accept a finger sized object if enough Astroglide is used. (Astroglide - is it named that because astronauts use it?)

You don't have to outrun the bear.

Fingerprint ID hacked by photographing a fingerprint and creating a fake finger.

Before getting too excited over that hack, I'd like to see some third parties be able to reproduce the result. As long as the procedure to unlock via this hack takes a bit of time, say an hour, I'd still be more than happy to use the fingerprint scan for everyday security.

Well, that was interesting.
