I feel like the bigger security concern here, if one needs to worry about it for their threat level that is more likely, is just like if someone knows your password, who could force me to unlock my phone via biometrics?
the cops?
In America at least, "law enforcement" (Police, Ice, CBP) aren't allowed to force you to enter your password, but they can just happen to hold your phone up to your finger/face to unlock it using biometrics.
It's not about having faith in the rule of law, it's about minimizing risk. Obviously if they're just gonna kill you or mail you to CECOT there's nothing you can do anyway.
If you don't enter your password you are deemed suspicious. They'll just put you in detention for a while to see if you're a danger. Maybe the holding cells get full and they ship you off maybe you just sit there for a few weeks.
They don't seem to give a fuck about what they're allowed or not allowed to do this year.
Travel with a burner phone.
Well, travelling with a burner phone won't stop a cop from just shooting you in the streets!
It was good talking to you, you have a good day
