Let's start with the fact that unlocking the bootloader wipes the entire /data partition to prevent this exact scenario from happening.

That'a a great point, and you're correct on the impracticality of the evil-maid attack. However, my point remains when it comes to less-than-honest repair shops or second-hand sales where wiped devices are not suspicious. I want to know if my bootloader/kernel may have been tampered with before I am able to trust the apps.

I wish I could have thought of that argument on a previous discussion about iPhone/ iPad jailbreak discussion thread
