This is exactly how it should work. Privacy is important. However, when you turn ON the device, type the password, and you are at your home page... the software should pick up that the device is NOT currently locked and you SHOULD be able to tether it to the computer at this point. The current methods required you navigating to the setting twice with each tether and the navigation requires about 3 clicks each. Just a huge waste of time and poor design IMHO.
