Fun tip: If you have an iPhone, rapidly pressing the power button five times will force your phone to require a password before Face ID will work again. Turning your device off entirely will also necessitate password reentry.

Doesn't help if you're snagged and handcuffed before you can get to the power button!
Right, I'd recommend anyone worried about this to power off their laptop (assuming you've got full disk encryption turned on) and phone before going through security, customs, etc.
for older phone it was power+down a few seconds.
