Please - someone make this, though I'm confident it already exists, and I'm just unable to find it by name. (yes, I did google, search forums, ect...)

I've always had a great idea for phone / laptop / other portable security - location based security.
We use phones for more and more - making the password protection feature of greater importance by the day. (my email is in it, for example) but at home, or other "safe" places - it's a royal PITA to unlock my phone every time. Yet in public, or at work - I want it locked the second I shut it off - every time.
A couple of methods: Use the "GPS" feature so when you're out of home, it locks immediately - but when it recognizes familiar locations - even done electronically - such as being in range of your cars bluetooth, or when it's in contact with your home wifi - it extends or disables the auto-lock time.
So when my phone is actively connected to my cars bluetooth receiver - it'll disable the password auto-lock - so I don't have to fidget with yet another thing in my car. But when the car is shut off - the bluetooth also shuts off - so the phone will see the network drop - and lock itself.
Same thing for home, when your home wifi is connected, the wireless device can stay open longer, or indefinitely (make a drop box to specify the timeout and response).
Even have a "bad network" scheme - so when you're somewhere unsafe (such as a Starbucks wifi) the phone will lock the second you shut it off.
Anyone else think this would rock, or am i the only one who screws up unlocking their iphone 10 times a day?
