An article with an interesting suggestion and a noble goal but I'm not the first one to say it:
Technology cannot solve the problem we currently face with erosion of privacy at the border! These clever tricks trying to get around the issue only kicks the problem downfield, and likely won't effectively work. If they found out you have travel mode enabled - you may be denied entry or worse (note the comment from @mholt) - they would just detain you until the time lock runs out.
- idlewords 10y agoThey can't detain US citizens longer than a few hours.
- binarymax 10y agoWhat if I'm a US citizen traveling to Canada, and their border patrol is similarly vigilant? I could be denied entry to Canada. Sadly this policy is being picked up in many other countries :(
- RodericDay 10y agoOur border patrol isn't "similarly vigilant". That's a meme being spread by a very dedicated account on HN, probably to seed the grounds for a lot of "whataboutism".
