gOS already has separate profiles with different passwords, how about setup a profile with a few pictures of gaping anuses to match the energy of nosy warrantless searching federals and install a couple apps with some activity I'm guessing is going to be better than an obvious wipe, even though a wipe is legal as it's your property and not evidence of a crime to destroy your own stuff.
