A real issue with iOS security (and with any mobile device) is that
users *want* to have ready and unimpeded access. How many people secure
their iOS device with a reasonable strength password? (Mine is>10
characters, upper/lower/number/symbol). A common user defense against
strong password practice is that "it is always in my possession and I'd
no immediately if it was gone."

I have people using that argument to justify NO password or PIN.
