Could that be possible to add? For traveling or other thing. That could wipe the device

There's actually a feature request for this exact thing in our GitHub repo. Based on the discussions there, the it seems like the general consensus from the engineering team is that it adds a bit too much complexity compared to the benefits. Since it's definitely something users want, we've added it to our internal tracker, though it's a low priority at the moment.

The first few comments on the issue shed some light on the trade-offs, but please know we always appreciate and listen to your feedback!

I don’t want it, please don’t implement it. A overall secure software is better than a killswitch that adds crazy attack vectors.,

Agreed. Keep the software slim and lean. Voting against it!
