A U.S. citizen has asked a court to throw out the government's claim that he gave over a passcode to border authorities that wiped his phone's data, opening up fresh questions about a person's constitutional rights at the U.S. border.

Feels to me like GrapheneOS did exactly what it should, passing the US border test with flying colours!

Funny part about this lawsuit: “With a little planning ahead of time, you can always download the data you need once you get to where you’re going,”

    he’s being held in prison until he gives up the password

    So basically he is in prison without proven guilty? That is exactly how “Communist” countries did: “you are probably guilty and just in case you will spend next 10-20 years in prison untill you admit your guilt”. Now is “OK” for pedophiles, next will be OK too for political oposition.
