A U.S. citizen has asked a court to throw out the government's claim that he gave over a passcode to border authorities that wiped his phone's data, opening up fresh questions about a person's constitutional rights at the U.S. border.
Good to know - thanks for pointing that out. On my version, if I were to simply shut down my phone, it requires a pin to start - no biometrics - and (iirc) the data contained within is encrypted until the pin is entered. So the smart play would be to simply shut it off, giben the opportunity?
I’m not saying “don’t use lockdown” or “don’t turn it off”. What I’m saying is in addition to that if you need to unlock it while you’re in the airport then you want it to not be unlockable from that point with biometrics. You want the pin to kick back on by default after it’s been unlocked and relocked.
