He’ll just have to pray the scene wasn’t recorded and his real PIN was one digit off

>I don’t think that would fly as a defense in court

but that's not the point, the point is to not wind up in court by presenting a phone that no long contains evidence but seems plausibly like your phone so doesn't arouse suspicion

Yeah if they can catch you and prove it.

Even if they can’t prove it, they can make your life really miserable for quite a while.

If it was implemented in such a way, there would be no reason to suspect anyone of using it because it would be totally indistinguishable from not having used it. At that point they have no grounds for legal action. Unless they could monitor FS/disk activity, but that goes beyond typical airport security stuff.

I'm imagining a duress code that erases select files and any indication that there was ever a duress code set up in the first place.

As soon as that starts, authorities will charge people just for having GrapheneOS. There are 0 checks and balances right now, it's a free for all.

(1) Keep manufacturer's Android plus some plausible apps and data in a reserved part of the drive. (2) GrapheneOS runs from the other part of the drive. (3) Make sure PIN screen designed to not give away the OS. (4) When duress PIN is entered, erase GrapheneOS and restore manufacturer's Android. (5) Now you won't be charged for having GrapheneOS because they won't know you had it.
