The legalese is thick but this is a notable point I saw from a quick skim:

5.3.2 "Passcodes or other means of access may not be utilized to access information that is only stored remotely."

They will be disruptive to your life if you, as a U.S. citizen, refuse to unlock your phone on the U.S. border. But it is my understanding they cannot constitutionally mandate you provide a passcode to unlock your phone. But they may confiscate your phone from you.

looks like they can request your passcode to unlock the phone so anything local and/or cached before they disable network connectivity would be there.

That's not notable at all given a lot of content is synced to the device, not even counting temporary and cache files.
