I think the govt is just pissy that they couldn't plant any evidence.
I'm all about owning my own devices, and have rooted every single Android device I've had over the years, but all of this is really making me want to go full Graphene. Locked bootloader and everything. Hell, even my wife installed Graphene on her Pixel after researching security options for it. I use Syncthing to back up everything I deem important to my NAS, so outside of a couple apps, I could confidently wipe my phone right now and have mostly everything restored within the hour...
I installed Graphene last spring and went FOSS for all of my apps and don't use Google Services. Syncthing is amazing for backing up my phone data. I hardly have to think about it, other than to actually back it up from time to time to an unsynced drive so that I don't oopsie lose something. It's remarkable how much bullshit I avoid now.
How does a duress pin prevent them from taking the device into custody?
And if you forgot you had a duress pin, hence weren't "knowingly" damaging anything, would that be a useful defense?

What do you use to backup your grapheneOS? Can it do a full restore after a clean boot?
Haven't tried that. I'm just talking about personal files.
