Since you can be forced to unlock your phone with a fingerprint, Apple and Android Manufacturers should let users set up a "killswitch" fingerprint.

Kind of a technology showerthought, if you will.

The thought me and a friend had was you would set a fingerprint up as a killswitch. If you use that finger in place of your normal digit to unlock your phone, it would disable the fingerprint logon indefinitely until the PIN was used to unlock. Once the PIN is entered fingerprint unlock would be reinstated.

It isn't perfect, and there is the chance the you will be physically forced to use your pointer digit (you could always use a non-standard finger to normal unlock) but it still seems like it would a great security feature.
