you have better plausible deniability that your friend isn't home or lost your passwords

that article goes in with the thesis that you're okay spending a night in jail to deny access to your data and that the cops don't really want it too badly. as you observe, if they really wanted it they could execute a search warrant against your password holding friend

Oh yeah. If the state wants your data the state will have your data. I merely linked this because the fact that the state is confiscating personal data at boarder crossing is more proof we've landed square in the dystopian nightmare future.

what if you work for the government or a defense contractor or something, and revealing the information on your phone would be a breach of national security -- would border control compelling you to unlock the device then be considered entrapment of sorts, because they're compelling you to commit a crime?

that actually happened during the first travel ban fiasco, some nasa person was forced to unlock his phone which potentially contained sensitive information. don't remember any developments after that

yeah, in these cases the individual under duress is almost always at fault, the threat of being detained until interagency wrangling has been completed is insufficient to rise to the level of duress necessary to justify breaking a security agreement with a federal agency

like, if the cbp dude drags you into a windowless room and threatens to kill you, then you would have a plausible defense, but of course you couldn't prove it so even then you'd likely lose

if that's the case the device usually has very specific wrapping, including warnings and such. see section 10 of http://dtic.mil/whs/directives/corres/pdf/520001_vol3.pdf for an example.

Before going through customs make an encrypted bit for bit copy of your phone and laptop, throw it in online storage, wipe your phone and laptop and reimage with the usual android/ios/windows OS with normal stuff on it like steam games and photos of family or whatever. After getting past customs wipe and reimage again with your encrypted backups. Seems pretty easy to get around.
