The legalese is thick but this is a notable point I saw from a quick skim:

5.3.2 "Passcodes or other means of access may not be utilized to access information that is only stored remotely."

They will be disruptive to your life if you, as a U.S. citizen, refuse to unlock your phone on the U.S. border. But it is my understanding they cannot constitutionally mandate you provide a passcode to unlock your phone. But they may confiscate your phone from you.

looks like they can request your passcode to unlock the phone so anything local and/or cached before they disable network connectivity would be there.

That's not notable at all given a lot of content is synced to the device, not even counting temporary and cache files.

It's notable in that I've seen an increasing number of companies where employees are essentially given a thin client to connect to a remote server for work, and are sometimes even prohibited from transferring that data out of that environment to the local machine.

Yeah that’s really critical if you use O365, as the encryption terminates in each local jurisdiction and is in cleartext on that front end device. So if you connecting in Germany, you’re hitting a front end in Germany or at least the EU, and so forth.

One easier way to do that is to use a Chromebook Public Session with a VPN, then connect to SaaS or a hosted desktop in your jurisdiction.
