I won’t use a password to get into my iphone, it’s a pain & I have nothing to hide. Just my apple ID, which is of course, required.

Ugh ... “I have nothing to hide”. This is a form of self-deception. It’s not about YOU being evil, it’s about THEM being evil. They could iMessage you from a suspect number, seize your unlocked phone and use the text as evidence that you’re part of some right-wing terrorist organization. It’s a silly example, but it makes the point. If they can’t see what’s on your phone, they can’t twist it into a chargeable offense; and they will do this. The “I have nothing to hide” argument proceeds from the naive supposition that the government is inherently good, means you no harm and is there to protect you; it isn’t any of those things.
