Is there a good one for Canada in specific though? As far as I can tell the Orbic only works in the US, and as a result I’m not sure if I can trust the other devices, even if they’re the same ITU region. Would the TP-Link work? The docs suggest it should work in the US as well as Europe.

I think the difference is, your phone is encrypted. In order to access any of the data, an attacker has to brute force your password (unless you left it powered on and it hasn’t run out of battery yet), which means a clear security boundary that had to be broken.

Of course, banning circumvention is clearly bad in lots of other contexts (DMCA), but I think that a phone dropped in an emergency is a pretty good case. There’s maybe even an argument than an unencrypted drive should be protected in that context, though I’m not sure it’s my position.
