A U.S. citizen has asked a court to throw out the government's claim that he gave over a passcode to border authorities that wiped his phone's data, opening up fresh questions about a person's constitutional rights at the U.S. border.

        I can’t seem to find it in my set up. There is no option for duress pin under device unlock selection

              E/os isn’t graphene and doesn’t have a duress pin feature.

      GrapheneOS also has options to turn off USB port so that authorities plugging in devices to try to bypass phone lock can’t be exploited. And user needs to supply password to change the USB options.
