Starting a new thread - it's related but a slightly different topic.

Despite having several devices with fingerprint scanners, I've never used one.

With the release of iPhone 5S and all the discussion around it, I'm curious if fingerprints on file with various Law Enforcement agencies could be printed out or otherwise used to unlock devices detained at border crossings or during other investigations?
