With the news of what #Cellebrite is capable of with phones, it's a good reminder that ultimately, you just cannot secure a phone like you can a desktop PC. Sure, some people are able to use a custom ROM but for the majority of people, that's not viable (unfortunately).
While you can certainly lock down your phone and exercise your constitutional rights (NEVER use biometrics), it's far from foolproof.
