Two factor authentication is a good defense against many practical threats but... Wasn't Mr. Miranda's cell phone confiscated as well? That's what I understood from the news reports, they took his laptop and his phone, and required his passwords. So your regular Google/Facebook two factor authentication is useless if you've lost your phone.
