…Federal prosecutors in Atlanta are bringing an
#obstruction charge against a
#US citizen who gave customs officers what is known as a
#duress passcode, which activated software that erased the contents of his
#phone.
The authorities stopped Samuel Tunick, an Atlanta resident, for interrogation at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Int’l Airport as he returned to the US Jan 24 last year, acc/to a Nov grand jury indictment. The authorities seized his phone before allowing him to enter the country.
