Don't use biometrics as the sole factor in security: Judge forces US Capitol rioter to unlock laptop seized by FBI
The judge granted the Justice Department's request to place Capitol riot defendant Guy Reffitt in front of his laptop so they could use facial recognition to unlock the device. The maneuver happened after the hearing ended and Reffitt's lawyer confirmed to CNN that the laptop was unlocked.
Zero sympathy, the guy sounds like a real piece of shit, but a good reminder that biometrics can be compelled.
