I vote no on this one, primarily due to not being able to access this
information without nearby people hearing (Or possibly recording) the
pass phrase (Think about trains, planes, buses, business meetings, etc).
A user-defined symbol drawn on the screen or a password/PIN tapped into
the screen would be ideal, preferably with a user-defined timeout period
(1-minute, 5-minutes, until-phone-goes-to-sleep, etc).
