I really want phone makers to allow me to unlock into separate enclaves on my phone. I.e. If I use 1234 as my unlock pin, it goes to my normal phone. If I use 5678 instead, it unlocks to a separate user account with its own notifications, pictures, apps, etc., similar to a truecrypt hidden partition.

- lolc 8y agoOut of curiosity: Is lying to customs officers illegal in New Zealand? I've lied to a great many people, including police officers on duty. They can't take me in if I wish them "a good day", or can they?
- stephen_g 8y agoI'm not sure about verbally lying to customs officers, but in my country (Australia) I know that lying on your customs declaration is an offence (making a false statement on an official document or something like that). The flight attendants have to read out a little script including that after they hand out the declaration/entry cards. I expect NZ is similar.
- hugh-avherald 8y agoIt's not only illegal to lie, it's illegal to fail to answer truthfully. Customs and Excise Act 1996 s 185.

- mandeepj 8y agoIt can turn out like this - Officer - Do you have multiple pins on your phone? You - (if you say) No Then you lied to an officer. They can also find it out.
- maratd 8y ago> They can also find it out. How do they know you lied?
- jjcm 8y ago"It's a work phone. There's an administrative account I don't have access to." This is already true of laptops, and with some simple setup beforehand that wouldn't be a lie. I highly doubt any customs officer would press further than that.

- ulucs 8y agoXiaomi does this with MIUI's Second Space feature. Different pins or different fingerprints take you to their intended space of the phone
- al_chemist 8y agoIf you enable it, there's that "switch to your second space" permanent alert you can't hide or dismiss.
