Does Swedish airport security check your phone?
One has heard of countries where you should remove the PIN code of your phone when passing through airport security. Does this also apply to Sweden?
Best Answer
It's not necessarily that your phone will be checked therefore your pin code should not need to be removed. If so there is nothing suspicious about you removing your pin code there as you don't know if your phone will be checked.
On the Stockholm Arlanda Airport Security Website:
Place your plastic bag with liquids in the tray so it is can be seen. Empty your pockets of mobile phones, keys and coins.
That is the only mention of phones and it doesn't say to get them ready for inspection or that they will be inspected.

Answer 2
I have been an exchange student in Stockholm for one year (in 2017-2018), it never happened to me and I have never seen / heard of it happening to anyone.
Note that I was travelling exclusively from and to Arlanda Airport and mostly from and to Geneva (Switzerland, in Europe but not EU), I passed the security checks about 10 times in total.
