Someone I know who seems to be in the know about things said that the Pinephone hardware is way more secure than the Librem 5. He seemed to be implying that the USA has hardware backdoors in some of the stuff used in the Librem 5. Pinephone could theoretically have Chinese hardware backdoors but I'd rather give control of my device to a country that CANNOT exert physical control over my body. Pinephone firmware has been audited pretty heavily though with no backdoors found.

One of the things that sounded cool about the pinephone is that the modem firmware was reverse engineered outside of the United States to make sure it was clean. The modem also runs its own copy of linux fully segmented from the phones main OS (also linux). It connects to the rest of the system through USB when needed.

"Sorry, your honor, but I have forgotten the decryption password." or, actually, that would be stupid since it would imply they are his. It should be "Sorry, your honor, I never had the encryption password". Unless the FBI has concrete proof he actually decrypted them in the past, they're screwed. Go back to cracking away. I also want to know the encryption that they supposedly cracked. Unless it is junk, it is more than likely that they brute forced the encryption passphrase for that hard drive.

It's disgusting if he has CP, but something something plausible deniability.

It's like the IT worker with no morals who quits in an organization where he held all the passwords and then promptly claims to have forgot them all when the company demands them right after they quit. You cannot prove if they were forgotten or not.

Actually refusing to give them out is grounds for legal action in both instances.
