That is what happened. The accused told the boarder agent the duress pin when asked. The agent entered the pin that initiated the wipe.
Could make a difference at trial, didn't stop the case prior to the arrest.
Then a lot of it could come down to the wording the officer used. If they just asked 'what's the passcode' then the person DID give them a passcode.
