That's why all phones should have a decoy feature so that when asked to produce a password, you just give them the decoy pass, and it unlocks a clean profile with no way for them to find anything personal, and or incriminating.

My phone has a guest code. I think phones should just have profiles that are complex enough to where nobody could know if it's your main one or not. However, apparently someone somewhere holds a patent to this sort of thing and thus...

One example I found off Google, though I've heard of others:

I would prefer not to have such oppressive laws in place, for more than one reason.
How many times can we effectively cry "The SOPA is coming!" before protest fatigue sets in? When the wolves are attempted into law over and again, something has to give and I'm not sure that corporate-congressional interest will be the first to blink.
