Just out from interest, if you have device locked how is someone going to access your data?
The most effective way that I know is to open the device and directly access the memory chip. Mind you, it might well be popchip when you canot even get at the die witout etching open the package...
What else, maybe interface to internal serial IO or JTAG? or maybe FBUS? Do you know how to do that?

So you can strike out that option

What the hell you are talking about???
1.) If you mean the current Jolla device running SFOS:
There sure is NOTHING you can get out thu the USB port that way.
If the device is locked, you cannot access the device via USB.
If you boot/power-cycle it, it will ask for lock code and not let you thru.
2.) If you are talking about the (hypotethical) Turing device:
It does not even HAVE any USB port...

I hate it when someone assumes "full device encryption" = "security".
How many "mortal person" security issues are exactly prevented with full device encryption? Virtually the only ones I can think of are the of the "government employee with nation-wide secrets" variety, where the attackers care enough to actually desolder eMMC chips. But for those you have to take into consideration how probable it is for a government-level agency to be able to break any crypto you throw at them...
This is the reason most known "privacy-unfriendly" (*cough*) are quite happy to offer full device encryption. It thwarts almost no one.

2) While booting there is the possibility to access the device. (recovery mode). No hardware manipilation whatever needed.
3) They have a USB Port (essentially) , as do iPhones. Just the connector is shaped differently. Security by obscurity.

I'm so tired of the useless and annoying locking down of devices caused by "security" non-sense that I'm going to don a superhero costume with "the Antisecurity guy" written on it.
"Privacy" is a much better keyword (and arguably Sailfish does not excel at it either, but it can be fixable).

So its just excuses from your side: too tired, etc. That's lame.
