    Anyone could have taken it - including the cleaning crew or any passenger walking by.

    You can disable "Hey Siri" completely in general settings, and you can disable Siri from the lock screen under the passcode security settings panel.  I have done so - If I loose my iPhone or either iPad I do NOT want someone knowing who I am or being able to find out where I live or how to contact me.  Yes, I suppose some would call me cynical, but I think having a device that will identify you to just anyone who asks it is a potentially dangerous thing to have lost out in the world somewhere.

     

    I use fingerprint lock, as well as a 12 character strong passcode, and have the self destruct feature enabled after 10 failed passcode attempts.  Activation lock and the lock screen should keep my identity and my data secure.  If I loose my devices I'm more concerned about protecting my identity and my information than I am about ever getting the device itself back.
