Yeah, I guess 'airplane mode' and 'off' are two buttons the cops know how to use.

Ejection Handle Pulled
I thought that was something that law-and-order conservatives say.
Just a data point...
I have a HUGE family, and we have our own family social network, WFN (the Winters' Family Network). About 50 to 60 brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews participate. We banter back and forth about everything, including politics.
There are three members who hold the "if you're not doing anything wrongheaded you don't have anything to hide" attitude and they are the rightist of the right of the group.
All three (and a few more) love the TSA, NSA, etc. All of those in this camp make Rush look centrist.
FWIW...which probably ain't much because my family is really whacked out.

Hell, just give them a box that has a Faraday cage built into it to toss the stuff into when they seize it upon arrest.
Or have them wrap it in aluminum foil.

The only things on my phone that could be considered even remotely personal would be my call/text history and my contact list. I guess the calendar, too, but because I rarely have appointments, it mainly contains family members' birthdays and the occasional dentist appointment.
This presented a dilemma for me when cell phone searches first became an issue because if a LEO asked my permission to search my phone, I would have to refuse just out of general principle. But at the same time, because there was nothing there that I'd be worried about them reading, allowing the search would be the path of least resistance; whereas by refusing, I would be inconveniencing myself with nothing to show for it at the end.
My solution to the dilemma was to create three encrypted 7-Zip archive files, with marginally weak passwords, and store them on my phone. They are named "private," "secret," and "personal." One archive contains a PDF version of the Declaration of Independence, the second the Constitution, and the third the Miranda decision.

If you really want to get a rise out of the the goose-steppers you could name them "Plans for the Revolution", "Rules for the Revolution" ,and "Resisting Tyranny"

And put them in multi-layer, high-grade encrypted archives. Might as well make the NSA burn a few CPU cycles cracking them open before realizing that they have egg on their faces.
