Doubtful about your Android's pattern lock ability to keep safe the contents of your phone? Well, recently it has been proven that it's harder then it seems, even for the FBI. The feds has to serve Google a warrant to unlock the phone of a pimp suspected of violating his parole. The pimp, Dante Dears, was known to have a business in San Diego named "Pimpin' Hoes Daily" (PHD). He was locked up in 2005. When he got out in 2009, authorities tethered him to a GPS monitor so he couldn't continue what he used to do. But the pimp found a way to get around it. He used an Android phone to run his business, just from sitting at home. A source said they saw him using his phone more than six hours at a time at his house. FBI, suspected he continued the prostitution ring. Dears denied the phone was his and refused to draw the pattern, it had to go through Android's security measure, even though his parole conditions said he couldn't lock any of his digital files.http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/technology-blog/fbi-fails-break-pimp-android-pattern-lock-serves-192617057.html
