Love this. Isn't there also something for Android that presents a "safe" account when you type in a particular passcode?
This regulation is clearly made by people who don't understand the technology and capabilities of these devices. A waste of time and money; who is going to train customs officials to search through phones?
- reaperducer 8y agoAs cheap as burner phones are these days, it seems the easiest route is to buy a decoy Android and fill it with plausible-looking innocent data, and leave your real phone home when going on vacation.
- brokenmachine 8y agoI don't understand why you think there's a need to fill it with plausible-looking innocent data. Why can't you just take a new phone and say, "it's empty because I got a new phone"?
- wool_gather 8y ago> This regulation is clearly made by people who don't understand the technology and capabilities... Staying ahead of them with a technological trick is only a partial, temporary solution, though. Eventually you can expect that there will be an attack, whether purchased (see GreyKey) or legislated, on the workaround. What should happen is that the whole arms race should be nipped in the bud by outlawing this kind of data collection coercion. But I don't have a lot of hope about getting that genie back into the bottle.
