Actually, I much prefer to cut the finger off then attach it to a key
chain like those rabbit's feet I used to buy in the mid fifties. Wonder
what happened to the rest of the rabbit?

to know that blind people tend to turn attention awareness off and
then be able to snatch your phone away from you without you knowing it
to keep you from just turning your head. I guess technically touch ID
also isn’t secure, since someone could hit you over the head and then
press your finger print to the finger print sensor, which come to
think of it, I see all the time when reading these spy novels.

My initial reaction was that you are being New York paranoid.
It is just as likely that a mugger could wack a blind person on the
head, and put their finger on the device to unlock it if it has the
home button.
I've never heard of either thing happening anywhere.
And, good luck to the thief who knows nothing about VoiceOver doing
anything with the phone. Which leads me to my personal approach. The
screen curtain is always on unless I need a sighted person's help, or
want to show them something. So, again, good luck to the person who
could use face ID to unlock my phone only to find a blank screen and
something jabbering at them.
Also, if you are holding your phone out in front of you, rather than
wearing it in a harness for orientation or directions, you are putting
yourself more at risk.

Often I hear stories in the news of people who are mugged and
their phones stolen. If someone's phone is stolen, what's to
prevent the mugger from snatching the phone, holding the phone up
to their face, and unlocking it with Face ID, then taking off and
disappearing with an unlocked phone and access to all the
information contained therein? If a visually impaired person loses
their phone, this is not an unlikely scenario as the mugger can
take the device and just wait around and follow the visually
impaired person without them knowing it, then, when the time is
right, whip out the phone and get it unlocked without the owner
ever even knowing it happened. Might it not be a bad idea to
disable unlocking with Face ID? Or am I just being New York paranoid?
