Nothing on a consumer product should be "irreversible".
How about some lock code that PREVENTS the unit from going into privacy mode if the owner DOESN'T want to use it and DOESN'T want someone else to be able to use it? Right now, if my car were to get stolen by a thief who knows about the ALP, the thief would be able to put it in privacy mode, pull the USB drive, and demand a ransom for my own device's key.
