Perhaps there could be a way to instantly delete all iphone data with a voice command.

Something like "siri delete my iphone code alpha nine x."

Or even an undetectable command like "silly sausages" for example.

Might that stop a judge from being able to send you to prison indefinitely?

I would bet the judge would consider that destruction of evidence.

What if the authorities do not know what the self-erase command is? Like, inputting your password backwards, or adding 1 to every number.

What if it only erases a certain file or partition, so the phone still contains some personal data, but it's like TrueCrypts's plausible deniability?
