American Being Prosecuted for Wiping His Phone Before Handing It Over to Border Officials

A US citizen is being prosecuted for using a custom Android OS feature that wipes his phone's contents with a secret code. This raises questions about constitutional rights at the border. The OS creator, GrapheneOS, claims the feature is 'completely legal' and protected by the US constitution. The case highlights the ongoing debate about what rights apply at the border. The user's actions were not under arrest, but rather handing over his phone to border officials.
