    They will try to pressure or force you into inputting your PIN.

    They can force my biometrics out of me, but not a password. When I travel for work, I don’t have the option of taking another phone with me.

        I read the article. If they want to keep my phone, fine. I’ll claim it as lost or stolen on my travel insurance, and restore from backup. Either way, I value my privacy more than I value my phone.

            As I said in the reply you originally replied to, I need it when I travel for work. Border Force aren’t taking phones on the way out, but on the way in. And them taking my phone is not guaranteed to happen, whereas the inconvenience of me wiping my phone is.

            The real question is why it matters to you so much what I do with my phone? Nice try Border Force…

                    My phone’s data is encrypted. I use alphanumeric passwords. They can’t compel me to give them shit, at least not anything that’s only in my head. What’s so hard to understand about that?

                    I’m not at all paranoid about your questioning. I’m just wondering why it’s so important to you that I agree with your point of view.
