Has anyone been able to verify the iOS 9.3.1 exploit in iPhone 6s or 6s Plus

I saw a few reports of a security flaw for iPhone 6s and 6s Plus with the 3D Touch:

I've tried to verify it on my iPhone 6s. I have no idea what settings are on the device in the video. Siri always asks me to put in my passcode when I attempt whats in the video. We may already be blocking certain things via policy like Access on Lock Screen, however even when I remove those policies I'm still asked to put in my passcode. Just wondering if anyone else out there has independently verified this.

Thanks,
Jeannine
