I've been traveling internationally for years, and am scheduled to go in a few months to the Dominican Republic. The only part of the trip that is giving me anxiety is returning to customs. I'm not sure what my best course of action is at this point. Go and hope for the best? Leave my phone at home and deal with the inconvenience?

The Dominican Republic isn't a Muslim country. I doubt you will be searched.

  The NASA employee that is referenced in this article was traveling from Chile, which is also not a Muslim country. It seems as though they are broadening these searches.

As a non-citizen this question is particularly complicated for me: does leaving my phone at home in the US signal some ill intent that they will use to deny me entry?
