    Make sure you’ve got a lock screen not based on biometrics and hand them your phone. They can’t compel you to open it.

      They can, however, refuse entry.

        For others, may as well bring a phone that’s specific for traveling that doesn’t have anything on it. Maybe even a dumb phone.

        Article has more useful info.
