   It's a surprising omission, particularly in light of the recent 
high-profile censorship of Twitter and other services enacted in Turkey. 
  It also doesn't seem to be a particularly intelligent algorithm -- 
reminds me a bit of banks' standard for "suspicious card use" (where 
"suspicious" simply means that you're traveling a lot).

   Let's think about this logically.  If someone were to break into my 
account, the first thing that they'd likely want to do is change my 
password.  Why is that the *only option* that Twitter allows when in 
this locked state?!

great, now twitter knows where I live =/
