With Apple encouraging its users to simply hand over their iPhone as Photo ID [0], how long before the police simply dock your voluntarily surrendered phone into some automated search gadget and don't bother asking.

It's already the case that if you let the police search your vehicle, they will, and what's found will be used against you. It seems obvious the same will be applied to smartphones. Protect your rights people.

From your article, it seems Apple are encouraging nothing of the sort, and in fact recommending the opposite.

> Apple now says users do not need to unlock or hand over their phones for the system to work for airport security.
