I feel like this isn't much of an issue with newer macbooks where bluetooth via Find My network allows location data to be exfiltrated regardless of wifi connectivity.

Also, I believe (on M1) that entering guest mode requires the computer to reboot into an untrusted state, so even if there's some 0-day to bypass Guest mode access control, the main encrypted filesystem won't be available.

Looks like it does that for any system with FileVault enabled: https://www.howtogeek.com/297611/how-to-set-up-a-guest-user-...

Good to know, I've only owned a HDD imac (so I didn't use filevault) before I got a M1 laptop so I wasn't sure if it applied everywhere.
