But honestly, the government will either shoulder-surf your PIN code or make you unlock it with your finger, or just snatch the phone from you while its unlocked.
They bought an exploit to unlock the San Bernardino phone, but they only really needed to do that because the owner was dead and Apple stopped their routine cooperation.
If the federal government is in your threat model, this is the wrong place to be protecting.

- martin_a 7y agoThey will drug you and beat you to shit until you unlock it. Wonder why you are so naive and think that they won't do bad things if they are _really_ interested into getting into your phone.
