This is a very good example of why you should never, under any circumstances, use a proprietary computing device that cannot be fully encrypted where you alone hold the decryption key. The convenience these devices provide comes at the cost of your personal privacy and security. You basically give up control of your data when you decide to use an iPad. Most people just don't realize it. I really wish the device manufactures would allow, open-source, transparent whole device encryption that can be externally validated (Droids may have the capability already thanks to Linux and dm-crypt). In general, user's don't demand it, so the Apples of the world have no incentive to do it. All the while, they provide full access to the device's secret/undocumented data recovery/snooping features to governments leaving their user's private, personal data easily accessible.
