    If the duress pin makes obvious it’s the duress pin then it’s not really doing its job. It should instead open a profile with not much in it while erasing the other profile and files in the background.

      They asked to unlock his phone, he entered the wipe instead personal pin, and the wipe starts, with no possible reversal.

      I mean yeah they discover it when he hands them the phone and it shows something other than an unlocked screen… But he is still in detention? Making a fake homescreen will fool them for like 30 secs tops until they open literally any app and sees it’s either completely empty or that it doesn’t work.

      What would that solve? It just drags out the procedure

        Empty apps or no apps aren’t necessarily a sign of guilt, but they will look at you like you are because its not normal.

        Companies often have travel laptops which are a clean install and no private corporate info exposed.
