Turns out it's pretty easy to bypass the passcode and encryption on any
iPhone, if you have physical access to the phone and a couple of minutes.
And the iPhone stores and rarely erases an astounding amount of information
from your day-to-day activities, including a cache of keyboard entries,
screen shots of applications, GPS coordinates, and more.

I believe Apple has FAILed big time here. I hope they fix these problems soon.
