They have access to it if they threaten/indimidate/blackmail you into giving them access. Dummy phones are a real thing; saw a post today on masto by a company… person (?) who said they keep a stash of clean burner phones for when employees travel through US borders. These are all reasonable, and maybe even CalyxOS’s decoy partition (does it still have that?). The larger problem is that few people will use these things, not even bringing a clean phone. And once they start threatening your family and your long-term safety and freedom, it’s highly likely you’ll give them access, if they know there is any access to be had. Which they increasingly do, because universal surveillance blah blah.
Not sure about CalyxOS but Graphene os has users so you could just switch to a different user and show them that and they probably wouldnt know to look for other users. Or you can disable apps, and then enable them again later. Disabling saves all data but hides the app and archives it. So it would only show up in the full app list in the settings not anywhere else. Not sure how thorough their checks are tho.
Personally tho if i was gonna go through a US border and was worried about my devices being checked id just back it all up to an encrypted external ssd, stick it in my checked bag, and wipe my devices. Then restore them once ur through.
i meant more with nsa type surveillance, they pretty much have a little leg on every us corporation. it seems they really want to start utilizing that data more against its own populace now.
also they have cyberweapons that can exploit their way inside most common phones anyway.
so… dummy phone? even before that, don’t they have access to your cloud stuff?

and your google searches plus dns queries.
You all don’t encrypt your DNS?

in the likely scenario people are using google or cloudflare dns, which is what usually comes by default, i don’t think it matters.
