The U.S. government has charged Samuel Tunick with allegedly typing in a passcode to wipe his phone before officers could search it. “I hope people understand that the charges against me are meant to intimidate people,” he said.

Just another example of the Trump admin trying to intimidate protestors using whatever the fuck they can to bring up whatever charges they can.

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.

The Israeli tools openly advertise that they can't break GOS.
