Implement a Blueproximity type system for Tails

Would it be possible to implement a system like Blueproximity for Tails?

The idea is that you can buy a cheap bluetooth device (typically $5 or less) and your Tails machine will lockup / power down if that device is not nearby. This is in addition to the existing lockscreen / password screens.

The rationale for this is to protect against physical threats as described by the Tails threat model .
