"you’d be better off unlocking and handing over your phone"

You would in the short term, if you're a coward and unable to stand up to this kind of abuse. In the long term, if everyone stood up to this abhorrent behavior, it would stop.

Everyone is a warrior at their keyboard. In real life, a quick mention of the metaphorical wrench and everyone complies.

You sound just like the people who are telling others to stop doing their jobs in the name of ethics.

Yeah in a better world we could all just not be "cowards" and stand up against unjust searches, but most of us don't want to spend couple nights in lock up over this kind of shit.
