First known US case: American charged for using a “duress” password

Samuel Tunick, an Atlanta resident, is being prosecuted for allegedly giving border agents a passcode that wiped his phone.

The feature comes from GrapheneOS, a privacy-focused Android OS. Entering the duress code triggers a full factory reset.

This is believed to be the first time federal prosecutors have brought such charges.

The incident happened in January 2025 at Atlanta airport. Agents demanded access to his phone without a warrant, saying he hadn’t yet officially entered the US. When they entered the code, the phone wiped itself.

Tunick has pleaded not guilty. His lawyers argue the seizure was unlawful and that agents were investigating his activism against “Cop City.”

The case raises big questions about digital rights at the US border.

What do you think?

I was unaware of the sheer scope of his oeuvre until I took a dive. This man has done everything from private & public spaces, retail stores, furniture, product design, kitchenware, chess sets, sculptures, to DJ tables.

April Greiman was one of the first graphic designers to use a computer as a creative tool. in 1986 she made one of the earliest digitally produced graphic design pieces on a Mac, it took over an entire issue of Design Quarterly, and instead of the usual magazine format, it was a huge double-sided foldout (check out the 4th pic)

1/ Pacific Wave, 1987
2/ Snow White + the Seven Pixels, An Evening with April Greiman, 1986
3/ AIGA Comm Graphics, 1994
4/ Design Quarterly, no. 133, “Does It Make Sense?”, front and back, 1986

He was probably so nervous to go out with his disability accommodation for the first time and Spongebob humiliated him for nothing. I feel like I could cry

One of the best things you can do for any well-meaning person in your life who consumes a lot of news is to have them listen to 5 episodes—virtually any will do—of this exceptional podcast. It will change their perspective and make it easier to talk to them.

before Argentina vs England kicks off, it feels like the perfect time to share Maradona's Legs, a 23 minute short film by Firas Khoury, easily my favorite Palestinian film of all time. abeg you give it a try.

Venting my frustrations at FIFA with a reading list and pointing folks to @africasacountry 's World Cup commentary. Unbelievable result.

people who’ve served should be nothing but a member of the movement, who does nothing but give intel & sharing skills. You are not to be the face nor leader of anything whatsoever.

That’s the price you pay for being duped into being a foot soldier of empire.

[Nerdeen Kiswani @NerdeenKiswani]

The Graham Platner left has convinced me that a lot of you would absolutely rehabilitate an Israeli soldier if the circumstances were similar. Four deployments in Gaza, then a mercenary helping maintain the occupation, a Zionist tattoo, public posts celebrating it, followed by “I served my country, now I want to serve working people.”

You’d call any criticism a purity test and insist everyone move on.

1. One of the more interesting things about Tibet is the mass hysteria element, no doubt flamed by western agents. The communists won the civil war and walked into a theocratic nightmare in Tibet where slavery was the norm and child abuse was routine.

[leila @ainiladra]

which reminds me, this very western idea that faith in a divine creator is for the stupid or backward, is a form of this malignant narcissism ... the enpty hole where your connected soul lies is being filled with snark & baubles
