> I don't want to hand an unlocked phone over to someone just to show ID.
this reminds me of a time when i traveled to Canada from U.S and the customs dude wanted to see my return flight ticket. I handed over my phone without thinking much and i can see from the glare on his eyeglasses that he opened my Messages app and scrolled through them and also went inside my conversation with my Dad. it was a learning experience.
What a creep... People will often abuse any little power they have. You should have reported the guy, anonymously if possible.
As for the problem at hand, ideally we should be able to 'lock' the device on a certain screen or while using a certain app whenever we wanted. Notifications disabled as well.
