Re: Lamers ! Who needs that level of security ??
well, there are a lot of reasons:
a) fishing expedition by law enforcement - we'll find SOMETHING we can nail you for! [jaywalking as indicated by GPS, for example]
b) planted evidence. Not that hard, really. A few child pr0n pics in your browser cache, and now you're a sex offender!
c) "leaking" personal information found on your phone, as a means of coercion or outright blackmail [just plead guilty, or maybe some of those photos will get 'leaked' and you don't want THAT, now do you?]
Those three reasons ALONE ought to be enough to ALWAYS INSIST on keeping privacy, well, private.
