It would be nice if phones had a feature where you can define more than one pin, but only one is for your actual phone contents - the other ones leave you to a completely harmless but otherwise indistinguishable looking smartphone interface that contains no or only completely bogus data.

It would be nice if I didn't get beaten with a hose in a vain attempt to prove that I unlocked the "real" one.

  I maintain that the series "24" back in the day did us all a great disservice by promoting the value of torture to "save the world". I'm hard pressed to find any reason for any citizen to be compelled to share their secrets with the police because the police had "suspicions". The 4th and 5th are paramount for a free society.
