Right. But you'll note that that laziness extends to Border Control in a very specific way.

They are not limited by time in the same way that the regular cops are. They can detain you indefinitely. They don't need to get your pin when they can call Google and request access to your phone's contents.

The only reason they tried the pin at all with the one guy was because they assumed he was giving a pin that was correct.
