Account security is a joke for personal chromebooks

Project Member Reported by dgillies@google.com, Mar 14 2016

Issue description

Chrome Version       : 49.0.2623.75
OS Version: 
URLs (if applicable) :
Other browsers tested:
  Add OK or FAIL after other browsers where you have tested this issue:
     Safari 5:
  Firefox 4.x:
     IE 7/8/9:

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  Restrict logons to only the users on a machine.
2.  Someone else steals the chromebook, power washes it.
3.  Security is open again, less than 5 mins later.
4.  Security through secrecy is not security!

What is the expected result?

There should be a way to restrict chromebook users that requires SOMETHING to be wiped or reinstalled from an external USB stick.  For example, implement a BIOS password that requries a new BIOS installation.  At least, that would be 10 mins of security rather than 5 mins.

What happens instead of that?


Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if
possible.
