Drop-down Notification bar accessible while screen locked

[Renz]

Hi, I found a facebook post that you can access the notif bar while phone is screen locked (meaning you can disconnect it from mobile data,use airplane mode and your phone will not be located when lost). I tried it and it is true.
Is this intended? I think its a security issue for me.

It's standard Android behaviour. It does make it easier for someone to steal your phone in those rare cases when you're fast enough to track your phone but they could just as well just turn it off.
The important thing is that your phone is protected by your Google Account. It's virtually useless for the thief without your password and as soon as they connect it to something, you will be notified about its location.

The problem is not about thief. If I kept my phone on desk and sleeping my friends just opens the notification panel and keeps my phone in silent or keeping it in aeroplane mode. It will cause me to loose important calls. So please look into it.
