Description
I feel it might be useful to add support to utilise the in-built Sudden Motion Sensor on modern MacBooks to detect motion of the computer on multiple axis. It appears that support existed to parse accelerometer data but it might in fact be depreciated. I feel it might be another useful feature to detect potential tampering or interaction attempts but I also understand it might not be practical.

Research direction
Start by locating the existing Objective-C support for parsing accelerometer data and determine whether it is still available or deprecated. Then assess how Sudden Motion Sensor data could detect computer movement across multiple axes; done would require an agreed practical scope for detecting tampering or interaction attempts.
