US citizen charged after GrapheneOS phone wipes during airport search

# Summary A US citizen in Atlanta is being prosecuted under federal law for allegedly destroying evidence after his GrapheneOS phone wiped during a border search at an airport, despite experts saying this may be the first case targeting an operating system's privacy features. Federal agents questioned Tunick about suspected terrorism ties to anti-Cop City protests and demanded he unlock his phone; when he complied, the device restarted and erased data, which prosecutors claim was intentional destruction of evidence. The case raises concerns about constitutional rights at borders and whether privacy-focused software features should be treated as criminal activity.
