They aren't but it is the same as if you have been accused of murdering some one and you burn the car you are accused of moving the body to the river in.

Edit: I am not saying i think its how i should work but its the logic behind it

It should work like truecrypt used to where there's no sign some of the encrypted blob is not actually visible in the fake os.

This sounds a lot like proving my innocence instead of them having to prove guilt.

Or loads a dummy profile and deletes other profiles without giving away what is happening.

Being white

I think the point is that if you load an empty profile (no photos, no videos, no apps, etc) but your phone storage is nearly full, it could throw up a red flag.

Not if you're given a Lawful Order (tm) to produce that material. Whether or not that material is incriminating is irrelevant.

I had this feature on a Xiaomi phone that i had a few years ago. I could even set up the fingerprint reader to open a different profile depending on which finger i used.

they are evil and hypocritical is what they are.

they want to make an example out of people trying to escape the panopticon.

Sounds awesome.

i think it would have been different if he wiped it before he came through customs. he gave them the pin, which destroyed the data after it was requested. almost like the phone was boobytrapped.

personally i just try to delete most of my communication apps on the plane before i get back to the states (signal, lemmy, instagram...) in case they want to search my phone and get mad about a meme. (precident). i also try to offload as much as possible to selfhosted apps where applicable (rss reader, podcasts) so i can just log back in and have everything.

i dont know how far these searches can go, but id be worried about password managers and app store history too along with any account where you can just "log in with google" or whatever. once the device is unlocked and in their hands, they can have access to quite a bit of personal information.

i bet theyre just pissy this technology exists and are trying to make it illegal.

They didn't accuse him of anything, and let him go afterwards. This was an illegal search attempt.

You have to carry a piece of paper in your wallet that contains a PIN. The piece of paper contains no further information, just a PIN. You decline to answer any questions regarding this piece of paper or your phone’s PIN.

This might not be a good idea, depending on your jurisdiction.

Got me there

You can have a business card with a "phone"number on it. (Your pin can be any part of that number it is only you who needs to know where to start reading the code).
You don't need to have a sus number only piece of paper.

I'm not going to disclose my specific way, but numbers don't need decimal digits to be expressed and parsed. An hypothetical example:

Oh... ye shadow! Nahamah, my Mother

Dont think that would be as secure. Once a phone has been unlocked after reboot, even if it has been locked again, the operating system and ram can be accessed quite easily with the correct tools and border controls have those tools.

Even a Graphene phone is only properly secure before first unlock after reboot. So i would not personally rely on allowing acess to any profile. I would assume its possible, (probably trivial) to gain complete access from there.

Any duress pin use should be covered under a person's right to avoid self incrimination.

If the phone is owned by your employer and they are the investigation target, then you might be on dodgy ground.

And that person is the officer that destroyed the evidence
