    What about give them the wrong pin, they initiate the device wipe, then you say they did it intentionally?

      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.
