I mean it couldn't hurt but as far as I know there is no active full chain vulnerability for GOS so you could just not and they have no way to access it.
I have no doubt that the government has access to zero days and/or just straight up image your phone so they can crack it at a later point in time if/when it is convenient to them. I used to think that was giving them too much credit and is in tinfoil hat territory but with the convergence of private interests and government, I truly think this is the reality of what can/does happen
I have big doubts. We've seen them struggle with less.
They have Israeli tools now. Not all govt is inept.
The Israeli tools are, as far as we know at this time, unable to break into a phone running graphene in the "before first unlock" state. Literally just turning your phone off before going through the checkpoint (as long as you're running GOS) will be enough from a technical standpoint.
good to know
The Israeli tools openly advertise that they can't break GOS.
