My phone has a fingerprint sensor (Nexus 5X) and when you reboot it, it still requires the PIN for the first login. You can also have it ask for a PIN before it boots at all. Since I generally turn my phone off when I fly, this seems to 'fix' the fingerprint part of a search. I've never had that happen, but it might be something to keep in mind as well.
