What do they ask you to show them at airports?
Text messages, maybe photos
Is that from apps like WhatsApp and Telegram? And SMS? What about email?
What happens if you'd say that you can't, because it's your employer's laptop and data, and it's confidential?

Which countries do this? I am pretty sure TSA can only ask you to demonstrate the device functions as intended, usually by powering it on.

Despite rumors to the contrary, the police aren’t stupid. They are trained to ask questions in ways that elicit a confession or falsehood. The simplest example is asking “Do you know why I pulled you over?”. Typically, people spontaneously confess to speeding, sometimes they break down and admit that someone is wrapped up in a rug in the trunk. The courts have consistently ruled that customs is different and you can…

"It may harm your defence if when questioned you fail to mention something you will later rely on in court".
Failure to answer can seriously harm your defence and I've heard of people I personally know (though I wasn't in the courtroom) where the prosecution hammered the point that they "came up with a plausible sounding story" after the arrest.
Obviously Border Patrol is not the same as being arrested; but this is an important caveat for the video posted.
Talk to british police. If you feel like lying, keep your story straight or give basic facts.
perhaps i could use that as a screensaver password to share with my girlfriend? it would close spreadsheets, emacs, un-mount journals and personal drives. PAM's used to reauth from the screen-saver, right?

Might be easier to create a separate login? Some partners expect to share passwords as a trust thing, but my work does not allow it (and most personal devices have access to work stuff).

An interesting way to use this PAM-Duress system would be to write a program that (a) begins recording your microphone and webcam video immediately upon login (b) Aggressively try the hell out of every passwordless Wi-Fi network it can detect, then use headless chrome to aggressively smack every button to get past the stupid login pages (c) Stream that video and audio to a server that saves it.

Just disconnect the light
Thanks, I'm cured.
1) A lot of laptops are sealed with glue. "Just disconnecting the light" would involve prying layers apart.
2) Companies may frown upon that if you should try to modify a company issue laptop.
3) Disabling a recording indicator may be illegal where you live.

2) Don't do personal stuff on your company laptop. If the company doesn't let you modify it, joke's on them, only company files will get leaked. Your personal stuff shouldn't be on that laptop.
3) Fuck that, if there are photons you can collect them
Worst case just do the microphone only.
