Dead Man Switches are by definition, hazards that are unleashed if the owner is DEAD.  The owner goes online every day, and resets the switch, so the hazard does not get unleashed.  If the owner misses a day, (because they are dead), the hazard automatically gets unleashed.  That's how dead man switches work. So if Deep State bad actors and their families are in custody (in prison), they are not able to reset the dead man switch, so the dead man switch goes off automatically. I'm not an expert on these, I've just seen them in movies like "Safe House". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_House_(1998_film)
