“Military grade encryption...I wonder if there’s an app for that?”

Numerous apps for it, trouble is they’ll probably require you to give them the password or go directly to jail.

Would also require you to lock your phone before the police got it.

There was a piece of software for the PC I read about a while back that not only encrypted your sensitive data, but also allowed you to set up two separate passwords, your real one and a dummy. If you are forced to reveal the password, you give the dummy password, it appears to work and opens up some folders with whatever harmless garbage you put in it. There was also an option that when the dummy password was entered and the "harmless folder was opened" then information in the "sensitive folder" would be military grade wiped and overwritten. Sounds like someone needs to make a cell phone version...
