    Interesting to see how this goes.

    • he didn’t wipe it, the CBP officer did
    • what evidence? Phones empty.
    • um repeatedly denied a lawyer? Toss the case.

    A duress PIN should load a normal looking phone so the dumb cops think you complied. Hide the wipe behind texts from your mom and emails from work.

          The point isn’t to make it forensically undetectable, but to prevent the room temperature IQ cop from noticing what happened. If they “unlock” the phone and don’t see anything that looks out of the ordinary they won’t make a big deal out of it and there’s a chance they’ll let you go.

          gOS already has separate profiles with different passwords, how about setup a profile with a few pictures of gaping anuses to match the energy of nosy warrantless searching federals and install a couple apps with some activity I’m guessing is going to be better than an obvious wipe, even though a wipe is legal as it’s your property and not evidence of a crime to destroy your own stuff.

        Lol I wouldn’t hold your breath, these devs won’t even give you inverted navbar buttons so unless it’s something they themselves want, you won’t see it.

    How does this work:

    He’s not yet granted access to the US, so laws don’t apply to him.

    He destroyed evidence, so laws do apply to him.

    How can both of these statements exist at the same time? Why not just turn him away?

    Even if they turned him away, he could get back in line with his clean phone and give them a working password.

      I can’t believe he has to wait until October for a determination on this. The facts of the case are clear. If nothing else I hope he sues the police department that put him on a watchlist for terrorism.

      If he wins this case that would be my first move. The only reason he was harassed like this was because he voiced a negative opinion about a city project.
