Remember...they can make you use touch id...they can't make you give them your password.

The FBI was able to access Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson's Signal messages because she used Signal on her work laptop. The laptop accepted Touch ID for authentication, meaning the agents were allowed to require her to unlock it.

Reminder that you can press the iPhone power button five times to require passcode for the next unlock.

Serious question. If I am re-entering the US after traveling abroad, can customs legally ask me to turn the phone back on and/or seize my phone? I am a US citizen.

Out of habit, I keep my phone off during the flight and turn it on after clearing customs.
