It isn't really your place to decide what is acceptable security for
users :-)  The touchstrip used in my laptop is certainly way better than
the finger sized static readers like those from Microsoft.  Fingerprint
authentication is also better than weak passwords, eg people using one
of the twenty most common passwords.  Pretty much any scheme can be
broken (eg use a gun and coercion).  And an encrypted home directory
plus fingerprint is better than unencrypted and fingerprint.

Making this all work when a password isn't entered is hard, but it is
solving the hard problems that distinguishes good software.
