Since removing a nation-state rootkit is not structurally possible, how is this any different from requiring the device to be forfeited? If all search == seizure and destruction, does that change the legal basis?

on an iPhone, DFU-flash (using apple configurator) reads NO state from the phone and overwrites ALL state. Nowhere for rootkit to live. If you are worried, do that.
