Can we please stop endlessly repeating this? Life is much more complex than that. A small laptop, a phone or a tablet can be stolen from you while powered on and unlocked by a simple thief that has no intention, nor ability, to capture and torture you. The thief could then quickly hand the device to other people that flash it and sell it in a different country. But first they might extract any valuable data.

> Life is much more complex than that. > [...] a simple thief that has no intention, nor ability, to capture and torture you By your comment I assume you live in a developed country and/or are not within a regularly oppressed minority, which of course, is a nice privilege. Sadly not everyone is that lucky and torture over something simple as $1 online transactions is pretty real.

  That isn't priveledge but a matter of the threat model to protect against - stop with the irrelevant pseudomoralist privledge shaming shit. If they wanted protection against that they would recommended a gun or several mercenary bodyguards. Which would require money and connections. But the topic isn't "How to quickly kill or incapacitate three or more men with only your barehands while having legal cover".
