Just to make the obvious point even more obvious (though I understand you’re about to segue into Amethyst's "Stealth mode" features). They’re finding plenty of excuses to search your phone... in authoritarian countries.
I travel quite a bit in Europe, have parents in Canada and South America, often take trips to Asia, and have even visited countries in the Middle East. I have never been asked to unlock my phone.
Not that the UK doesn’t engage in its fair share of mass surveillance against its own citizens, but that’s a different conversation.
For those of us fortunate enough not to have ties to authoritarian countries, the best option is simply not to travel there. For the proud citizens of authoritarian states where you must "respect the dear leader's authoritahhh!"... I’m truly sorry. Maybe consider applying for asylum somewhere safer?
