Someone should mod android so when you enter a second password it wipes everything but gives the appearance of a regular login.

That would be like the cryptosetup nuke patch on Kali Linux - http://linuxbsdos.com/2014/01/14/apply-the-nuke-patch-to-luk...

Cryptosetup is at version 1.7.x, but the latest patch was for cryptosetup 1.6.x. So the existing patch does not work for the latest cryptosetup.

Although then you'll probably run afoul of some jurisdictions that make it illegal to lie to the police in some circumstances (not that it necessarily needs to apply, it's the sort of thing they might throw at you to make an example and dissuade others, and quietly drop after they've caused enough mayhem in your life).
