   So carry a separate device while traveling. Or wipe your phone, then restore after the border. This is just going to lead to a service that does this for you and the overreaching feds won’t be able to do anything about it.

   And as far as I can tell you still don’t have to give them your pin code.

      It's been somewhat established that having a wiped or basic phone is in itself sus and reason for them to investigate you further.

         Have not heard this, whats your source? I don't see how they could determine that because "its a new phone" is hard to dispute.

         best case scenario is that a higher court overturns this but not holding my breath.
