"That's when they can plug in the traveler's phone, tablet or PC to a device that copies their information, ...".
would really like to know which "devices" they are talking about. fkn hard to do a full android backup these days.. this world. im tellin ya.
on another note: lets talk about how one would go about keeping ones privacy intact aka having a party in the capitol.
1. will they be able to get into my cryptrooted pinephone / hdd in those 5 days?
2. if not will this only make them more angry and privacy penetrating?
> fkn hard to do a full android backup these days.
No it's not. It's very easy. I do it all the time using adb.
> will they be able to get into my cryptrooted pinephone / hdd in those 5 days?
They don't need to. They can take a binary image of your encrypted partition(s) and take all the time they want to break into it later. Assuming they're sufficiently motivated.
have you tried restoring your adb backup?
Most apps set the backup=false flag in thr android manifest and adb will sput out an empty backup. This is what grandparents meant.
They will get a $5 wrench and beat you until you give it up yourself, per XKCD https://xkcd.com/538/
In other words: this isn't a technical challenge, either you comply and give them your private stuff, or you're not going anywhere. Maybe you can con them into giving a 'public' part of the phone and pretending that's all there is, but again, that's social engineering and not a technical challenge.
We are simply not allowed to have privacy and also live a meaningful life. Everything we want to do now requires us to surrender our privacy. Transact with money, see a medical professional, travel internationally, etc.
