 It looks like it sniffs the phone for unencrypted data stored locally.

A lot of defences assume that the attacker doesn't have the unlocked device. It may be using weaknesses in the OS authentication mechanism.

Wiping your phone would be a pain but I'd do it in a heartbeat if I was picked up.

 Picked up by who? This is the question that needs answered by each entity.

 This I can understand. Guess it’s hard for me because of my admitted life history. The amount of times people have chosen to immediately “judge me as evil” based on my lived experiences is ridiculous. Hugs 🫂

 Well it's probably just a more limited version of myself. I'd assume they're deeply asleep if they're carrying out the will of the state.

 Learning the history of the #PactAct could be helpful. 🫂🫡🙏

What’s the #PACT #Act and how will it affect my #VA benefits and care?

The PACT Act is perhaps the largest health care and benefit expansion in VA history. The full name of the law is The Sergeant First Class (SFC) Heath Robinson Honoring our #Promise to Address Comprehensive #Toxics (PACT) Act.

The PACT Act will bring these changes:

Expands and extends eligibility for VA health care for Veterans with toxic exposures and Veterans of the Vietnam, Gulf War, and post-9/11 eras
Adds 20+ more presumptive conditions for burn pits, Agent Orange, and other toxic exposures
Adds more presumptive-exposure locations for Agent Orange and radiation
Requires VA to provide a toxic exposure screening to every Veteran enrolled in VA health care
Helps us improve research, staff education, and treatment related to toxic exposures
If you’re a Veteran or survivor, you can file claims now to apply for PACT Act-related benefits.

 I'm neither a veteran nor an American. The government that controls my jurisdiction has little respect for the privacy & preferences of its citizens.

The most effective substance I've found for oxidising toxins in the body is chlorine dioxide solution (CDS). A substance that's been used for over a century to sanitise water. It's very cheap & easy to obtain the raw ingredients to make at home.

If you're suffering or know people who are suffering from the effects of toxin exposure, I'd definitely look into CDS.

 Me too I’d wipe it without a second thought. 

This is why you shouldn’t rely on Face ID to open but always put a pin in 

If you refuse to open it they’ll detain you for as long as possible… could start trying to brute force it… but if you wipe it, they literally have nothing… actually quite fancy the latter… more satisfying
