A thief flags you down, grabs your phone and makes you unlock it using your thumb.

A cop opens the cop car door, grabs your hand and unlocks your phone, or even easier, face unlock.

Granted, guns and torture are rather effective as well, but is anyone entirely against fingerprint unlocking?

And yeah android does have a lockdown button, if you press and hold the power button, its in the options.

For those of us, that opens G-Assistant by just pressing the power button:
Power + Vol up
