It seems like a lot of the security of the device depends on active scanning (e.g. the LDS clamshell mesh, the IMU, the temp sensor, etc.), which stops working after 6 months. Is the vector of a malicious actor taking the device and waiting 6 months before breaking in considered not worth protecting against?

The webpage says it zeroes the key material when the battery runs low. So it'll fail "secure" in that case, presumably.
Ah, I missed that bit! Thanks :)
