In a situation where you are raided like the journalist, it may be worth nuking the phone. Consider the sources that could be exposed.
Having your phone available to law enforcement is the equivalent of forfeit your right to remain silent.
And more, once they have access, what is stopping them from planting false evidence? In this fascist fever that US is living... I would prefer to avoid the risks.
