  What trigger would you setup to protect against thieves? I can't think of any that has the right sensitivity (not triggering if I start running to catch the bus), and won't escalate the violence (like my fingerprint wiping the phone in front of an armed robber). And remember that the context here is you explaining your digital booby trap to a judge who thinks you might have deliberately destroyed evidence.

    > What trigger would you setup to protect against thieves? "Wipe the data after a number of failed logon attempts". I understand that this does not fit completely with the "in front of law enforcement" idea, but it opposes your «any solution that starts with "setup a trigger that wipes a device" [would be] already on shaky grounds»: we can very legitimately setup triggers that wipe devices in the possibility that the device falls into random hands.
