They don't really have to ask to get into your phone if you are with a US carrier. If they absolutely need access to your phone, they will get on it with very little resistance. https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/

There's a privacy aspect to also consider. Many flip phones don't have front facing cameras and gps chips in them. It's nice to know big brother isn't watching me(as much).
