   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.

         They can investigate all they want, they can even detain you briefly, but if you are a citizen and there’s no evidence of a crime then they have to let you in.

            And if you're not a citizen?

               Then this does not apply. Best to consult a lawyer
