This sort of law is what happens when businesses lobby Congress to pass a law, DMCA, rather than investing in hardware that will make unlocking a phone much more difficult if not impossible (it can be done).

ADVISORY

BY DECREE OF THE LIBRARIAN OF CONGRESS

PENALTY: In some situations, first time offenders may be fined up to $500,000, imprisoned for five years, or both. For repeat offenders, the maximum penalty increases to a fine of $1,000,000, imprisonment for up to ten years, or both.

Right. Reading in a science feed where they're studying disintegrable
electronics. Almost goes along with a collective European research
grant project for scientists to create a new element whose purpose
might be analogous to future product assemblies comprising both a
"supple" PCB and case.

That's interesting. Is this for environmental reasons (so the phone is biodegradable) or for tamper-proof security reasons (namely, you cannot unlock the phone since the case will disintegrate).

Both ideas sound intriguing.

Environmental, most definitely has to be accountable to be
conscionable within a sustainable or living ecosystem of a future
earth not covered by a poisonous cloud of toxicity, such as on
mainland China. The rest is all too immediate for the purpose of a
140 million US dollars to be dispensed over the next decade into
Graphene technology. I'd imagine perhaps there's a focus, Graphene
simply seen among many as most viable on returns to eclipse plastic
encasements over metal and PCBs, comprising today's product lineups,
with superior efficiency over diminishing residuals [sic] heaped into
yesterday's castoffs of idolatry for landfills surrounding Fashionable
Mount Suburbianae.
....Change is certain to come, we may rest assured.
