This seems like a bad idea.
* Why won't someone will figure out how to trigger the phone kill switch and start wandering round SF killing people's phones at will?
* Why won't the state/NSA/whoever kill the phones of its enemies (diplomats, foreign business people, "subversives")?
* and so on.
If this such a risk, Why hasn't this happened yet? Corporate phones all have remote kill switches, and are high value targets of harassment.
2007: If sub-prime loans were really a problem, why hasn't the market crashed yet?
2008: Oh.
