I do understand what you're saying though. Of course you don't want people accessing your private data. Which is why I say... don't use google wallet. It's incredibly risky and scary that a computer hacker could get into your flawed wifi or mobile connection somehow and steal your card info. I fail to see how that's more safe than having the card in your wallet- where someone can't just hack into it from a far away distance.

Can the random person sitting next to you on the subway find your address and schedule in under 5 minutes without asking you a single question? If you leave an unlocked smartphone on the seat they can.
There's a difference between someone actively searching for information about you and you simply handing it to a random stranger. A car thief can bust the window to get into your car. Do you just leave the car unlocked with the windows down all of the time?
Is everyone here just deadset against a lockscreen?

How many places with Google wallet access have open wifi? By the time they found a pay pass and wifi area, I've already locked my account by changing my Google password.

A locked phone makes it longer to access but a person with basic knowledge can get rid of lock and get everything in about 15 mins or less.

yes pick your phones but just don't rely on it too much.

Have you ever forgotten your root password and needed to reset it? I have a very good memory. I remember most of my client's passwords (there are a few I forget regularly for no reason that I can understand, but I really do know most), I remember telephone numbers, and of course I know my own passwords. That last isn't as easy as it might sound, because I have quite a few different systems and each has its own password, but though I might use the wrong one now and then, I'll get it on the second or third try.

Just thinking that Verizon cant block data over wifi. It was a question ...

That's not what I said at all. I said one shouldn't have overly sensitive personal/financial data on their phone. There is no need for it. And THEN, yes, there really isn't need to lock your phone.
