Quite true, but of course I wouldn't expect anyone to do that in public.

That's like the entire idea, I'm pretty sure they can't legally force you to undress to unlock and inspect your phone.

They can force you to undress for a cavity search. What makes unlocking your phone such a special case that they'd think that was "too much"?

Simple, you just don't tell them.

They can try all 10 fingers and all 10 toes, but if they don't know what piece of skin unlocks the phone, what the hell are they gonna do?

Seize the device and crack it with tools like Cellebrite. Possibly with you in custody in the meantime.
