I know that security agencies sometimes ask for passwords or try to convince you to hook your phone up to their device. If you travel often, you might want to have a secondary phone that doesn't have any sensitive information on it.
You can (and should) also fully power off your phone when going through security because that'd make it insanely inconvenient for them to waste their time trying to get into your phone since the encryption only fully protects the device when it's powered off.

I would never unlock anything for any security.
Good! But if you're ever pressured to do so, powering it off definitely makes it harder for them to try to force their way in. Also know that in the US, police technically don't need a warrant to unlock a device secured by biometrics, so if you use fingerprint/face scan to unlock your phone, it's a possibility that you could be forced to do so.
My flight was domestic so I didn’t feel the need for a secondary phone. International id def use a burner with nothing on it
