I wish they had gone with a single kill switch. The most common use case is probably "Nothing gets in or out right now." But instead of flipping one switch one direction, the user must now flip three switches the same direction to get that common behavior.
Also, what's the use case for switches flipped in different directions that wouldn't be covered by software buttons? We can't possibly be talking about targeted attacks-- in those cases you're screwed no matter what.
That only leaves indiscriminate software attacks. Now take the hardware switch setting where baseband=off and wifi=on. I guess it's nice that evil software cannot pretend that baseband is off when it's actually on. But evil software attempting to "get out" is probably going to use a high level call out to the net. So who cares that it must now leave through the wifi radio instead of the baseband radio?
