@emptywheel@OrinKerr Wiping (used to be) pretty easy with iTunes. Not sure if this has changed. -
@matthew_d_green Partly I was asking whether default passcode will make it less lucrative to steal phones to use as phones.@OrinKerr -
@emptywheel@OrinKerr Maybe a bit. The phones are still wipable, but probably only by people who specialize in that. -
@matthew_d_green@emptywheel@OrinKerr Effective (and global) IMEI blacklisting would probably do more to deter handset theft than crypto. -
@matthew_d_green@emptywheel@OrinKerr ... since the passcode lock is a vendor-specific thing, but IMEI's are universal (& hard to change). -
@mattblaze Am I wrong in thinkin the APple move is a much bigger deal for border searches than warranted ones?@matthew_d_green@OrinKerr
