If you have heard of [Haven](https://github.com/guardianproject/haven), then Tripwire fills in the void for a robust anti evil maid solution after Haven went dormant.

The GitHub repo describes both the concept and the setup process in great details. For a quick overview, read up to the demo video.

There is also a presentation of Tripwire available on the Counter Surveil podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-wPrOTm5qo

How does an evil maid get past a locked iPhone or laptop? It’s really not that easy with a proper password and encryption right?

The threat is them implanting some sort of device that sniffs your password next time you type it. Then they come back at a later date for the password and unlock your gadget.

For a laptop with full disk encryption, there is the possibility of the attacker tampering with the hardware.

Assuming you are a high value target I’m sure you can open a laptop and put some kind of keylogger to track the keypresses.
