I wish sudo had a reverse feature (maybe it does): never cache 
credentials, always require another password.

Kinda like there are various "screen lock" features on mobile devices: 
"unlock when Bluetooth device X is in range". But I want the reverse, I 
want: "lock when Bluetooth device Y leaves range". (I'll unlock it 
myself when I want it unlocked.) So what I want is "screen  lock" where 
these others (on Android at least) are really "screen UNlock".
