Tbh the Graphene devs sound sort of like the OpenBSD devs. We’ve seen this before. It will be interesting to see what happens to the guy who wiped his phone at a border stop. He should have wiped it before getting on the plane, especially if he has a remote backup. With a Moto G phone he could of course put all the sensitive files on an SD card and then taken the card out of the phone.
I also wonder if there are any obstacles to forking Graphene to remove the TPM dependency. That would hopefully allow installing it on any phone for which there is current Lineage support.
I want to give up on smartphones altogether, and just bring a Raspberry Pi, maybe even just the board, scrounging a monitor and keyboard at the destination. One thing I like about the Pi is that it has no built in storage, just a card slot. So you know that if you remove the card, you haven’t still somehow left sensitive data in the built in storage. With a phone, you can’t be really sure.
