   I guess you can just boot up yer GNUbooted thinkpad to fbcon or i3 and wish them good luck at snooping through your files.

     Bonus points for selecting the GNU/Hurd menu option in GNUboot that boot straight into GNU Emacs.

     @latein >Pretty sure they can jail you for not providing passwords to those.
     According to this article they cannot compel you to provide a password without a court order at the border; https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/jun/16/australian-border-force-searched-more-than-40000-mobile-devices-in-five-years-data-shows
     
     Too bad they can punish you by stealing your device as there isn't a limitation on "inspection time".
     
     
     They can jail you if a court demands that you self-incriminate and you forgot your password of course.

     @Suiseiseki Pretty sure they can jail you for not providing passwords to those. So you really better not forget them.

     @Zergling_man@sacred.harpy.faith @Suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com If they saw all that they'd detain you for being suspicious having a system they're not familiar with.
