The U.S. government has charged Samuel Tunick with allegedly typing in a passcode to wipe his phone before officers could search it. “I hope people understand that the charges against me are meant to intimidate people,” he said.

Just another example of the Trump admin trying to intimidate protestors using whatever the fuck they can to bring up whatever charges they can.

The correct solution is a duress password that just opens a generic smartphone interface with nothing on it. Nothing suspicious. They won't even know to investigate.

    Duress password that causes the phone to burst into flames. It also shouts "You killed me you murderer! I had a family! You sicko!" As it melts.

    The smoke causes everyone to weep. It's not tear gas. Its emotional gas, as everyone in the room is crying at the death of the phone and the life it could have lived.
