Samuel Tunick, who faces a felony charge for deleting his phone’s data during an airport customs search, called the government’s peering into people’s private lives “creepy.”
Sounds like the best workaround for this is to have a deadman switch to delete all data if the phone hasn’t been unlocked in a 24 hour period? Then it is your inaction that results in the destruction of the data, and you’d still be complying with the statute.
That sounds awful. What if I don’t want to use my phone for 24 hours? Besides, if the government has tech to unlock your phone they will probably be able to use it pretty much immediately, so a time delay doesn’t really matter.
