Pretty sure AVG or Avast can do this too, you can even change the app name and icon to hide it as stock crap for factory flashes
I think if I had one of these lo-jack tools installed I'd end up leaving my phone lying around on purpose, just because it'd be so much fun messing with the person who stole it.
... Open your eeyyes Look up to the skiiiiies aaaand seeeeeeee ... ... you blown up your haaand, you stoll the wrong telephoooone ..
Interesting you say that... I once contracted for a defense company and they actually had laptops with Thermite security systems, you did not want to get the password wrong on those!
You know, I thought about this some more and realised that, in this GITMO day and age, it'd be incredibly risky to even own a laptop with any sort of combusting mechanism inside it. Say the police raid your house for something unrelated - tax evasion, or whatever. They seize your computer and try to search it for evidence. By law you have to give them the password; if you don't, it's obstruction, which is pretty serious in itself. But say they try to circumvent the encyption, and it ignites and burns a hole in their table. Apart from being totally unnecessary (full hardware-level encryption makes a drive essentially impossible to use anyway), they've now got you on trumped-up terrorism charges - you manufactured an incendiary device and concealed it inside an everyday item. Also, there's a very good argument to be made for making your machine very accessible and easy to use, and rather than installing highly defensive security just installing very discreet low-level access tools. That way, rather than wiping it, thieves will just use or sell it as is, and you may eventually find your way back into it again:
