GrapheneOS has a "duress code" feature that will wipe the device if it is used in an attempt to unlock it.  A potentially useful feature, but the US is now trying to prosecute somebody for having given the duress code to an officer demanding the unlocking of his phone.

@corbet Love how federal agents can break the law with impunity but then turn around and prosecute someone for something that *they* ultimately caused by doing something illegal..
