Good that they mention burner phones. But baffling that they don’t mention and explain BFU state, and how it’s the most secure power-on state your phone can be in.
BFU and AFU doesn't matter if the authorites don't obey laws.
You can refuse all you want, they'll just jail you for refusing.
The UK already jail people for refusing to unlock their devices. Now with a president of the US who does not respect the rule of law, the same, or worse, will happen.
Just don't have anything political on your phone, let them search all they want, there's nothing there.
Keep any such materials on a Non-US cloud account, in encrypted format, without any personally identifiable information on that account. Hopefully you access them through VPN/Tor to make it difficult for them to determine the existence of such accounts.
I was more talking in terms of opsec and device security, but yes, that’s true in a legal sense
