On technical grounds, different biometric sensors certainly exhibit variable resistance to tampering (or fooling in this case); however, a constant in this area for several years is the lack of information provided by manufacturers themselves concerning the limits of their devices's security. (Note that this is not limited to the field of biometry.) However, I hope you understand the low trust that informed users need to apply by "default" due to the lack of realism in manufacturers marketing. That's probably unfortunate for both of them btw.
