If federal agents confiscate my S5, what would they be able to find?

Unless there was full encryption, EVERYTHING will be found. Deleted files, texts, everything. If encryption was used, they still have a pretty good shot at cracking the password, especially since the software to encrypt the disk/flash is open source (Android). So, even with encryption, it's easily vulnerable to reverse engineering, since they have the source code.

Ever mounted an unencrypted Windows partition in Linux and seen every file on the Windows OS, without needing the login password?

Yup, just like that.

Doesn't really matter the NSA can see anything and everything on your phone, in fact they have the capability to watch your texts as you type them. They already know. You're screwed dude, hide!
