    Because then it's trivially simple for you (more importantly, for people who aren't at all technologically inclined) to get at it from anywhere.

    It's also trivial for everyone else to get it from anywhere as well. Technically handicapped people can't even keep their hotmail account safe, laying a bigger trap for them doesn't seem like a good idea.

    10 days is hardly enough time to mount a defence.

    Just turn the gps off.

    It's common sense, if your going to do the wrong thing DONT record yourself doing it.

    If you have a crash the phone company can see that messages were going to and from your phone moments earlier. Plus the emergency services may find your phone with the half typed message.

    We need to reduce the cost of running the prisons.

    Put the prison out in the dessert = no need to build expensive walls.

    Here in Australia it costs more to keep an inmate than it does to put a worker on a mining site. If the private sector can put fly-in fly-out workers in the dessert cheaper than the current prison system, to me that solves the problem.

    Build a prison in the bottom of an abandoned mining pit and a single rifleman at the top of the access ramp will be sufficient to thwart any escape attempt, even if they do escape who cares they will die long before they reach any settlement.
