Not at all.
If I am forced to surrender my phone at a border crossing, for example, I would like to know that the fact I powered it off is sufficient to deter these kinds of attacks.
It's relatively easy to thwart this attack--the CPU only sends encrypted data to external memory chips. The devil is in the implementation--encryption adds latency to memory access.

It is only when grabbing and storing the data becomes cheap that it becomes routine action (eg duplicate all phones at the border).
- bsder 3y agoIf they want ME, I'm cooked no matter how you look at it. If they are just running a generalized dragnet, I just need for scanning my information to be just slightly too expensive.
