With physical access to any device, the necessary decrypt/crack tools, and enough time, the encryption used by any computer application can be circumvented. If this could be done by simply getting close to the iPhone with your bluetooth laptop, this would be news. But anyone that expects any software to protect your data if you lose physical control of the device needs to call me about a bridge I'd like to sell.
What makes this instance so special (other than being able to attack Apple)?
The moral of the story, don't let "security specialists" steal your iPhone.
