   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.

      the worry is that this will be interpreted as tampering and cary consequences.

         This would not be tampering, because you haven’t tampered with anything. The “evidence” is simply at home.

            The law isn't a computer program. Intent matters.

               Try proving intent when it’s a common practice. I’d even say it’s a best practice these days, especially for business.

               You’re fearmongering. Find me a case of someone getting prosecuted for having a burner phone. It doesn’t exist.
