US accuses American of allegedly wiping his phone using a 'duress' password during border search | TechCrunch

US is a dystopia

More like "sorry I couldn't remember the password. I guessed, but I have a bad memory"
This is exactly the reason the government can't force you to give your password in the US. They can't prove that you remember the password.
-That, and the 5th amendment.

If you're in this situation, don't say this. You are under no obligation to explain anything, and anything you say will be used against you (and will not be used to defend you). Just shut the fuck up.

He didn't delete it. The officer did.
I wonder if he'll sue them for damages
Just put a note in your wallet that says cell password with the distress pin. You didn't give them the pin their illegal search uncovered it.

They have a point though. Technically from what I've read just living near an airport would give ICE the authority to search your phone and anything else you might be carrying if it's within a certain mile radius. Even if you aren't using the port of entry (airport for instance). Regardless of whether or not they have any other form of probable cause.
I don't understand how others don't understand that. Because it's a hell of a conclusion to come to.
It's 100 miles. They claim 100 miles from the boarder and now "the board" is including international airports.

FYI if you are using GrapheneOS with the duress password, you can natively backup your phone. Its in settings.
For people that don't want to be dragging into a civil rights case, can you set up a dummy interface that looks used, but doesn't have any too important available? Like you only owned the phone for a week?

I soooo want that feature, but less and less phones will even let you unlock your bootloader. Graphene OS doesn't get to support many phones.
Yeah, I bought my pixel specifically to run Graphene. Hope the Motorola devices come sooner that later, so one has a bit of a choice

You can setup different users on GrapheneOS and switch between them.
There is also a "private area" in the bottom of the app list where you can move sensitive apps and password protect them.
Either way, allowing a malicious actor into that profile exposes more attack surface for them to exploit.
Idk. Security is a journey, not a destination.

Yeah, you're right

that doesn't work if they clone it
Would be great if there was a feature that detects a clone and start zeroing itself. Or start flipping bits every few seconds/random intervals in a way that just seems like nand in early stages of failing (maybe even give false drive health data). Though I have zero understanding of the cloning processes, and imagine that it would quickly be something they would have their own detectors and mitigations.
But can't just stop trying to make it harder/frustrating for anyone trying to access all our digital lives. They already get around our rights with how they just go ask the companies like Microsoft to get people's Bitlocker keys (which even most people seem to not even be aware of having until Windows breaks).
