Even better, you can set a pin to only destroy specific data. Less chance of arousing suspicion.
- giancarlostoro 9y agoWhat phones actually do that though? I wonder what happens if you tell a police officer you may hold data that they may not hold the security clearance to see through though? Those are legitimate cases, what happens then? Weird. Edit: I guess my case makes more sense as a question of what happens in the US in such a case, but the former question is a general one.
- willstrafach 9y agoSuch a device would usually have a standard label to indicate that fact.
- giancarlostoro 9y agoNot everything has such a label on it. People use work emails on their phones for example which could contain just about anything.
- willstrafach 9y agoOne might have unclass or SBU e-mail on their work phone but it would be very problematic if there was actual classified data on a "regular" device.
