So carry a separate device while traveling. Or wipe your phone, then restore after the border. This is just going to lead to a service that does this for you and the overreaching feds won’t be able to do anything about it.

And as far as I can tell you still don’t have to give them your pin code.

It's been somewhat established that having a wiped or basic phone is in itself sus and reason for them to investigate you further.

They don't need your pin, they can just hack the phone take all your data anyway. ICE has a contract with Cellebrite

the worry is that this will be interpreted as tampering and cary consequences.
