Or turn your phone off while transiting airports. Not a catch-all solution in life, but considering the extra-lack of rights we have there, it makes sense. No need for them if you write down your confirmation number before arriving for departure, in order to get your ticket printed. On landing, have it off until you clear TSA and Customs.
It shouldn't be this way, but oh well.

The issue here is CBP was (illegally) demanding he give them his passcode (5th amendment violation).
Doesn't really matter if the reboot timer is triggered if the thugs have beaten your code out of you.
