Feels to me like GrapheneOS did exactly what it should, passing the US border test with flying colours!

Funny part about this lawsuit: “With a little planning ahead of time, you can always download the data you need once you get to where you’re going,”

    What I find foolish is there’s no pin only to unlock (no biometrics), but biometrics available when unlocked

    Plenty of my apps have biometric verification I’d love to take advantage of, but I don’t need or want one to unlock the phone itself

      But there is

      Settings > Security & Privacy > Device Unlock > Fingerprint and there you can toggle to use the fingerprint for device unlocking and/or verification in Apps
