You also have to press all the possible combination of numbers on your device, just to make sure there isn't one to activate a bomb. You also have to open all the apps in your smartphone, just in case one of them is "open to blow the bomb".

So you've got 17 apps on your phone. And all you need to do to see Allah is to open 5 of them in sequence. 17x16x15x14x13 = 742560.

Or maybe all you have to do is get your unlock password wrong a certain way.

Fact is, the fact your phone boots makes it more of a threat, not less. LOL!

Fact is, this is not about security. It is an exercise in security theater.
