Story summary
- U.S. prosecutors indicted Samuel Tunick for activating a duress password that erased his GrapheneOS phone at Atlanta airport.
- The indictment carries a five-year maximum and attorney Matthew Dodge says DHS officers stopped Tunick, searched him without a warrant and triggered the wipe.
- Daniel Micay said the duress feature permanently erases data to prevent extraction, and Tunick claims the prosecution seeks to intimidate activists and that his car was tracked.
