#Activist charged with felony after giving border agent #DuressCode that wiped his phone The government says destroying his own data during an airport interrogation was illegal. Ryan Whitwam – Jul 27, 2026 "In early 2025, Atlanta resident #SamuelTunick was on his way home following a trip abroad. After landing in the US, customs agents demanded access to his Pixel phone, which was running an alternative version of Android called #GrapheneOS. Rather than hand over his data, Tunick used a clever feature of the software to delete everything. Now, he’s facing federal charges. "The first hearing in this case happened last week, according to The Guardian, during which government attorneys and agents claimed that Tunick was subjected to a standard secondary interrogation at an international airport. During that encounter, agents were 'looking for anything that’s prohibited.' However, Tunick’s legal team alleges he was targeted for his #activism. "Tunick was involved with a group called #DefendTheAtlanta Forest, which opposed the construction of an enormous law enforcement training facility in the area often known as #CopCity. What Tunick didn’t know, according to his lawyers, was that he’d been placed on a watch list for his actions and that Customs and Border Protection had discussed over email plans to detain him upon his arrival back in the US for 'suspected terrorism activities.' "During the interrogation, #CBP agents told Tunick they wanted to search his phone for evidence of child sexual abuse, and if he didn’t unlock the device, it would be confiscated. The government has long asserted broad authority to examine and seize electronic devices at the border for virtually any reason. Tunick claims he was never read his rights and requested legal counsel several times, but the requests were denied."

The US Air Force uses it too, which means that Wire is what HEGSETH should've used instead when he caused signalgate (no shade on signal for that!). It is free for personal use. It is Swiss, governed by Swiss privacy law. Cross platform, and works great on #grapheneos https://wire.com/en/compare-wire-vs-alternatives https://wire.com/en/blog/big-tech-data-sovereignty-failure https://wire.com/en/transparency-report
