Actually the better duress pin is fully deniable encryption: you set certain policies on data, you insert a pin and only the data tied to that pin are visible. Those who see can't tell if there is something else hidden. This way you're compliant and yet still private.

too bad it couldn't have dual boot based on the pass code. use one code, get one os, use another get a different one. hmmm

It reads a bit like the border agents entered the duress pin. Shouldn’t he be charging the border agents with destruction of property?

> The charge treats the alleged wipe as destruction of property intended to prevent a government seizure. This does not seem like it fits the situation. The phone did not get destroyed. He just deleted data. Is data considered property? If yes, is not the burden of proof on them to show what he des...

How about just have the absolut necessary things on the phone before crossing a border?

Everyone should do the same thing.

So what happens if you wipe your phone before the border search? Is it probable cause because you have a suspiciously fresh os and no contacts etc...?

“We own your property” — U.S. Thugs …Anyone who supports this is a proud slave.

Sounds like the state eased his phone. Sounds like it’s their problem.

Well, they usually set the first case as an example so God be with him

You are not going anywhere without studying all natural law principles and acting as man

I'm probably misremembering, but if I heard correctly, he provided the duress PIN to an officer and the officer wiped the phone, incidentally.

He is going to win the defense if he has a decent lawyer. CBP asked only for “the PIN” — no clarification which PIN they wanted -He gave them a PIN; CBP entered it themselves -Phone wiped automatically — he didn’t delete anything manually -§2232 requires intent — prosecution must pr...
