[ale] Android secondary security

[Jim Kinney]

Buy a new phone. Easier and cheaper. It's possible to to do a full
factory reset (which is what will happen in Fort Worth - no data
recovery option) and regain control.
Alternatively, see if you can remove the mail app.

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
