Samuel Tunick got arrested at Atlanta airport in January when border agents demanded his phone without a warrant. He gave them a "duress" code from GrapheneOS, a privacy OS that triggers a full factory reset when entered. The phone wiped itself. Now the feds are prosecuting him for it. First known case of this charge. His lawyers say the seizure was illegal and that agents were actually fishing through his activism against Cop City. The defense is straightforward: you can't force someone to unlock their phone at the border, and you definitely can't prosecute them for having a tool that prevents that. This is either a landmark win for digital rights or the start of the feds criminalizing privacy tools. Depends entirely on what the court decides matters more: border security theater or constitutional protection against unreasonable search.
