Mostly off-topic, but what do you do when Android forces you to type your password again for "additional security" and you're in front of a bunch of people you can't practically hide your phone from? Do security-conscious folks disable it somehow (and if so, how)? It happens when you least expect it which makes it actually worse than just a plain password in that respect.
