I read the article. If they want to keep my phone, fine. I’ll claim it as lost or stolen on my travel insurance, and restore from backup. Either way, I value my privacy more than I value my phone.
As I said in the reply you originally replied to, I need it when I travel for work. Border Force aren’t taking phones on the way out, but on the way in. And them taking my phone is not guaranteed to happen, whereas the inconvenience of me wiping my phone is.
The real question is why it matters to you so much what I do with my phone? Nice try Border Force…
I just turn off biometrics. Fuck those Gestapo cunts.
“Border Force”. Trump, much?
They will try to pressure or force you into inputting your PIN.
The other risk is that they will observe your PIN because you aren’t using biometrics.
Nuke/Pave or have a decoy phone (with your primary phone powered down and packed in your luggage) for use when travelling.
And if you are travelling to certain jurisdictions, just leave your primary phone at home!
They can force my biometrics out of me, but not a password. When I travel for work, I don’t have the option of taking another phone with me.

Ummm, right? That’s my point…?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I wonder what their reaction would be if you are running Graphene OS and you gave them the duress PIN.
