in 2031, in an attempt to control violence among unemployed millenials, the us government legalized no holds barred fighting. starbucks coffee working with the usg established a series of leagues and bloody public exhibitions. the fights' popularity grew with their brutality. soon starbucks discovered that the public matches were their most profitable enterprise. the professional league was formed; a cabal of the most violent and punchable douchebags in known space selected to fight in a grand tournament

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

Anybody got a writeup on this? It's interesting.
Common sense says if the device doesn't have a power supply it can't do anything that draws power. I've not yet seen a smartphone you can't pop the battery out of, so what's the other piece of the puzzle? They come with backup integral batteries, or what?
