Every time an apple device is taken from you at the us border, the border patrol could use this vector to capture your password later and send it over the internet without your knowledge. Before you could just assume they couldn't infect you. You aren't safe until you reset the t2 - every time someone takes it from you.

But the same is true for any laptop - if someone untrustworthy takes your laptop and you’re at that level of concern then your next step is necessarily erasing the machine.

Since this is a tethered exploit, simply rebooting the device should prevent that.

They could also install a hardware keylogger, so a non-exploitable T2 doesn't really help here in the general case. We just have to hope that the TSA aren't at the level of your average state actor.

rebooting the mac doesn't reboot the T2
