No one in, or on the border of, the United States should use a biometric lock.
The police can apparently force you to unlock

Back in 2009, Bruce Schnier described a process to cross borders: https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2009/07/laptop_securi…

It must be said that having this document in your possession when crossing the border may itself lead to suspicion.

Is there a list of countries that may do border controls of your devices and what rights you have and don't have in each? Basically a guide like this for more than the US.

What is an ergonomic way to image an unlocked Android (or GrapheneOS) phone, pre and post border crossing, from a secure encrypted backup?

Honestly the only thing I can really suggest at this point is have separate devices used when traveling internationally, and be mindful of what you access or put on them. Plausible deniability boot volume works good for laptops. Dunno if any phone supports that.
