What if you and your wife enter on different flights? Wouldn't it makes sense to carry each other's devices and not share the passwords with each other? You aren't refusing; you have a plausible defense to not knowing the passwords.
It's less compelling, but i guess you could have a trusted friend change your passwords for you and require them to later unlock them. (after you get out of detainment 5 days later and fight in court -- instead of the gov't winning, you both lose)
- enknamel 10y agoDo you seriously think a TSA agent would just say "Oh this phone isn't yours and you can't unlock it? I better just let you take it on the plane!" If they cannot perform the search no matter what your excuse is, I seriously doubt they will let that phone, or even you, enter.

If you are a US citizen, they can't really keep you out of the country for this. They can make it hell, but not keep you out. If you are not a citizen, then yes, they can send you right back.
