  • The hardest part would be how to trigger the kill-switch periodically without showing it to your adversary whilst keeping it easy. Having your device queried directly would be a dead giveaway. My idea without involving people would be as follows:

    1. Set up a program that syncs files to a remote third-party cloud
    2. Sync it to a directory that frequently changes when you use your device (your docs, for example)
    3. Have a server that queries the third-party drive for that synchronised directory
    4. If there are no changes, trigget the alarm

    But since this plan relies on the secrecy, it’s kind of ruined now. That, and I think your threat model is a bit too extreme.

    Not necessarily carts like the ones you see in shopping malls, but it’s also for things that would not be safe on the escalators like:

    • Baby carts (forgot the proper name for them)
    • Large carrier bags
    • Those cart-like bags elderly people usually carry around that doubles as a walking assistant

    Accidentally letting them go would be dangerous.
