Went shopping a while ago for a Dell touch laptop for a certain grandchild's birthday. Noticed that one of the features offered is a fingerprint ID scanner. Couldn't help but wonder if that info isn't perchance shared with Uncle Sam??

Something else to worry about - if you really want to.
My wife once let a medical facility copy her hand for a woman who needed an artificial hand. Her fingerprints are floating around on someone else's hand.
I agree with the insecurity of fingerprint IDs now that it was mentioned, but you can change the fingerprint. You have 9 other fingers and maybe you can use one of your 10 toes.

At least with Apple, fingerprint data is stored only onboard the device in what Apple calls a "Secure Enclave."
To be hacked, someone would need to physically access my devices with an artificial copy of my fingerprint, or my dead finger.
