    So clearly you're here just to call me out, so it's funny you should bring up time saving. Other commenters on my comment have not provided a good reason. Like I said, I walk throu…

    I realize I'm not the first person to come up with most ideas I have. I don't mind. Care to share the reason it hasn't taken off? Or are you here just to call me out?

    Nah, I'm sayin the area leading up to passport control or in the baggage claim area. I realize once you're sure something sketchy is happening, there's no actions left to take anym…

    It would be nice if there were a feature built in to phones to facilitate this. Like, on the lock screen, an emergency wipe button that runs a procedure you specify (log you out of…

    I'm being told I need a modern browser for this, then redirected to the Chrome download page. I'm using the latest version of Chrome.

    Yeah, maybe I do lack some perspective having never worked for a truly giant company. My parents both work at massive banks (in technology, in fact, my dad has almost the same job …
