@n_dimension wow. So if I come as a tourist Australia requires access to my phone?
Its actually more nuanced (I looked it up) still not good news.

@n_dimension glad to see it involves a warrant. Anything less would certainly hold me out of Australia.

Handy info to iPhone users:
When you go through an airport or meet the police, press the power button and either volume button for three seconds. This puts your phone in a state where it can only be unlocked with your passcode.
So if anyone ever tells you to hand over your phone, you can do this immediately and prevent them from unlocking it with your face.
@randahl on mine it’s just the volume down and power

@randahl If you use bio-metrics, you've already handed over the keys to someone out there - in the form of a finger print, your facial features, or your eye's (iris) blueprint. This is a false sense of security. People protect their Social Security Number with more vigor than a scanned finger print!

A migrant in a tt I watch told about a device that agents plug into a phone and then have full access and may create a complete copy of all the information.
Idk if agents have such a device.
@randahl @JackMexa4 They do exist, e.g the israeli company Cellebrite is infamous for it. Not sure how specifically it works and if it works on all devices.
