It doesn't matter.

Mamy will read this and think that crossing a border with a GrapheneOS device is a bad idea, or just drop using what is a nice security feature entirely.

Just being charged is already a massive pain in the ass (both in terms of stress and costs) to an individual.

It is a massive pain in the ass, but if the case is thrown out, the gov't may be less likely to arrest someone again. Who knows, under the current regime. They seem to go after whoever they want.
