Another thought of the day.

Why don’t phones come with a security feature that lets you set up an alternative unlock code that does open the device but presents a false dummy interface with content that looks real but is not yours? This could save lives at US border control today.

I've got a better idea. Get real law. That kind of invasion of privacy would have been unthinkable before the Oughts. I remember when anything involving phones was a total third rail for enforcement departments. They needed stacks of specific warrants for the least little incursion.

Reinstating that principle will work permanently, instead of yet another tech fix that the flying monkeys will simply break in a matter of days.
