Feels to me like GrapheneOS did exactly what it should, passing the US border test with flying colours!

Funny part about this lawsuit: “With a little planning ahead of time, you can always download the data you need once you get to where you’re going,”

    I don’t recommend a duress password of 1-1-1-1, because that could be set off accidentally.
