I don't see how. Regardless of how you feel about the lawfulness of the overall situation, Tunick gave an agent false information which resulted in the phone being wiped. That's intent.

This requires no action whatsoever from the phone's owner, you could even be unconscious/dead and it would still work.

The intent in that scenario is to wipe your phone (destroy evidence) when a bag is searched by federal agents.
