I use Siri over Bluetooth a lot while driving. Although she is good at being my personal assistant, she's not great at providing useful information - "what gate does delta flight 980 leave from?" or even telling me what the wind forecast is for tomorrow.

So for those things Google Search blows Siri away. I like to launch Google Search from Siri, then click the little microphone (which admittedly doesn't make it hands free). However, I don't want her to make me require a passcode to do this as its too tough to try to enter passcode while driving.

Are there any innovative options for allowing Siri to launch only certain apps without a passcode? Or only for a short period of time (my searches typically only take a few seconds)? Or maybe if I am traveling more than 20 mph on GPS speed, Not require a passcode?

Of course there's the holy grail of just letting me speak my passcode...

Any ideas?
