MODERATORS
A duress password to remove selected profiles would be amazing. So it still unlocks but quietly removes the profiles you are worried about.
Not even remove them, honestly. Just unlock the phone into a sanitized, honeypot account that has no access to the secured accounts contents!
If you do go digging you would get caught. Safest way is removal in those situations. I rather have some data removed which preferably I have backups up. Then have to risk jail time in some country.
