How can they possibly "crack" the phone password? Won't the phone get locked after a few failed tries?

It's border patrol speak for "keep your device indefinitely while refusing you entry and/or detaining you indefinitely". By attempting to cross the border you give them the right to do any of that.

Isn't border patrol (US, Canadian, pick a country, I'll wait) wonderful?
