[guardian-dev] How to lock, shutdown, wipe phone when grabbed, robbed, theft from hand?

[Josh Conway]

Another option could require constant connection with the 'net, over say a
Tor phone-in server. If the connection isn't present for $time, require
password. If password isn't typed in, phone reboots and you get 30 chances
of bootup password.

That way, it would be hard to attack the tor server. And it would be hard
to spoof the Tor connection to fake-authenticate. And no BTLE or other
physical devices needed - those can be stolen anyway by "bad actors".
