citing the 18-hour auto-reboot feature that returns the device to Before First Unlock (BFU) mode, where keys cannot be extracted.

Also worth mentioning that you can set auto-reboot to a shorter period (down to 10 minutes). So if you anticipate situations where your phone can be seized (border crossings, demonstrations), it's worth temporarily setting this to a short time period (or rebooting your phone yourself to get to BFU).

I dont understand why people like a journalist working on things they dont want seized would carry this kind of data on their device at a situation like this (border crossing), I see it as more useful to remove that kind of data from the device first.

Probably because everything seems to be an "app" these days. Even when it has no business being one.

Because you may need the data in the data during/after your travel and lack clean way to access safely, securely and anonymously remotely.

What about using decoy profiles? Say before the border crossing you switch to another user. Does that expose keys or anything for other users?

		You would need to hide the existence of the original profile while in the decoy profile for this to work, which GrapheneOS considers too complex to implement
