  They will try to pressure or force you into inputting your PIN.

  The other risk is that they will observe your in because you aren’t using biometrics.

  Nuke/Pave or have a decoy phone (with your primary phone powered down and packed in your luggage) for use when travelling.

  And if you are travelling to certain jurisdictions, just leave your primary phone at home!

    They can force my biometrics out of me, but not a password. When I travel for work, I don’t have the option of taking another phone with me.

      I don’t know if you read the article but if you refuse to unlock the phone they will seize the device and can hold it indefinitely.

        I read the article. If they want to keep my phone, fine. I’ll claim it as lost or stolen on my travel insurance, and restore from backup. Either way, I value my privacy more than I value my phone.

    I wonder what their reaction would be if you are running Graphene OS and you gave them the duress PIN.
