Fire alarms for example, have been designed to stop accidental activation. A similar thought process needs to be considered for designing the activation UX for less-secure security profiles. Application developers might find it reasonable to make it easy for users to move to more-secure profiles however.

A small caveat here though, is that allowing ease of profile switching could allow users to quickly activate public mesh modes in important physical locations, thus increasing the amount of time spent in public mesh mode in active areas, which would lead to an increase in message propagation. This suggests there is not one definite approach to designing interfaces for these use-cases, but more of a balancing act between performance, and keeping non-technical users safe.
