Love the idea but as soon as you lose physical access, software won't stop someone.

Yeah, I would prefer being able to do a back up image of the phone and save it to my computer and then hand it in after doing a factory reset. Then just restore it when I get the phone back. Android sucks in this department compared to Apple.

Yep, the only thing better than encryption is for the data to not be on the device at all.

you can do this on device or using flashing utils.

but you probably need root
