I'm thinking not bringing the phone or deleting all apps before landing won't help much if they ask you to login into your accounts on a computer (or stay detained for hours if you refuse or claim that you don't use facebook/email, your pick).
I wonder how possible it would be to create a jailed environment on Android or iOS that can not access any of the data on your phone and could be entered by putting in a false password. That would allow you to enter your "password" on-demand and then only present a jailed process to those seeking to violate your privacy. It could appear to be a full experience, but not actually contain any personal data, or contain f…
Why would it be illegal? They told you to put in your password, and you put in one of your passwords. If they want to fuck with technology and they're too stupid to understand it, that's their loss.
Well, most likely because things like "obstruction of justice" are crimes.
I don't really get the notion that the law works like Airbud, where the rules have to be specific and anything not banned is permitted. It's totally possible to criminalize subjective things like "trying to trick us" which apply even if the means used are novel and not banned.

Can someone clarify how if I can be compelled to unlock my password protected phone, they can't do the same with my social media, email, and other accounts? I feel like this author advocates for a stop-gap that may not even help in the long-run.

They aren't all too stupid to understand it, which would be why it would eventually be illegal to use such technology to deceive border patrol or other agents of the lawful government.
Whether or not they will find out about your lie is a different question.

Actually, you're wrong. Just recently Obama opened up data sharing between the NSA, FBI, CIA and hundreds of other agencies. Source: https://www.engadget.com/2017/01/12/obama-expands-the-nsas-a...

In the Android world there exists a system called MultiROM, it allows you to have multiple ROMs installed on your phone with separate data partitions. You could theoretically load one ROM up with all your personal data (and have it encrypted) then have another for customs usage, just boot it up before you reach the agent. Remember to load it with plausible data to prevent any suspicions and you should be good to go.…
