Just for the record:

If you have guest accounts enabled on a mobile device, one may steal the
device, and then log in as guest without rebooting. This someone will
then have plenty of time digging for other exploids of software on the
stolen device.

Bug description:
  Make a guest account that people can login to, and check their mail,
  surf web, etc.

  Every time the guest account logs out, its purged so the next user who
  login is a clean fresh account.

  This would be great in public terminals, libraries, hotels, lobbys,
  etc.
