0xsigsev This is merely a question of how you would design the profile. Ideally it would be an exact copy of the regular UI. It would have its own storage, and you could set it up to seem real (set up apps and regular files)

Some good conversations emerged here. The dummy profile functionality would obviously not provide any use, if the law enforcement has your attention. Once they have your device, youre pretty much compromised.
Its purpose is to not draw any attention while on a quick inspection without having to wipe the data.

GrouchyGrape This post mainly focuses on the feature, and that is an example of where this feature could be a benefit.
However for your question:

"U.S. authorities saw these messages as "hate and conspiracy messages," which prompted an FBI investigation that was later dropped. However, the researcher was sent back to France."

The US is checking people's devices and denying entrance to for having content on their phone deemed critical of Trump, or for storing legal photos of Muslim leaders. This is a purely objective post. I am not here talking about whats right or wrong. However this is invading a person's privacy.
A feature that creates a secondary passcode (fingerprint, password, pattern...) to open a dummy profile in Android would be useful to protect against this.
