So it will be interesting when you say that you don't have any social media accounts, or point to some essentially empty accounts.
Immigration officer: "This bjelkeman-again account on Hacker News isn't your?"
Me: "No sir, it isn't"
Officer: "But it has your name."
Me: "Sorry, I don't know who that is. Somebody impersonating me perhaps?"
Officer: "Hand me your phone. An unlock it."
Me: "Here it is. But it is empty. I load it from a downloaded encrypted image when I arrive at my destination. The key is given to me when I have arrive. For company security reasons."
Officer: "You have to come with me."
It is going to be interesting.

- lbotos 10y agoTrue, but none of this is really far-fetched in the realm of security. People can do this not to be difficult (as you are insinuating) but out of genuine data protection.
- Periodic 10y agoMy last company created a policy that when traveling to some countries, specifically China, we were told to only take fresh Chromebooks and set the up at our location. That way we could be reasonably certain there was no spyware (verified RO boot) and no way for for them to take our data even if they took our laptop during entry. Of course, the could have installed a hardware keylogger, but the risk was low enough.
