It does require physical access to your iPhone, but if you do lose possession, here's how the bypass works and, more importantly, how you can protect yourself from it.

I was NOT able to recreate this on iOS 8 beta 1.

I can confirm this works on iPhone 4S running 7.1.1.

Interesting.... but not very trusted as it's not Public release... We know if effects 7.1.1 which most have had for some time now....

Just disable the Control Center from the lockscreen. Doesn't take a rocket surgeon.
