Nice idea. But it's treating the symptom rather than the root problem.

Nice idea. But it's treating the symptom rather than the root problem.
- idlewords 10y agoI agree. But the practical alternative right now is doing nothing.
- thex10 10y agoFair enough! There are many good ideas here and I'll even wager that a 'trip mode' of some sort could even produce benefits outside of the held-at-the-border use case. It really does seem silly at retrospect that these tech giants have decided the default needed to be "expose all of the connections"
- idlewords 10y agoIn fact, the border case is just an edge case. You also want your accounts protected if you lose your unlocked phone, have it stolen, have your password stolen, log in on a dodgy public computer, plug in an infected USB stick, or leave your laptop unattended in the wrong hotel room.
- everythingspun 10y agoThe root problem is terrorists wanting to kill people.
- maxerickson 10y agoInbound foreign travelers to the US have pretty much already been screened.
- adrienne 10y agoAnd in the US, almost all of those terrorists are white male American citizens.
- soraminazuki 10y agoThat's not a good excuse for denying ordinary people of their basic rights. There will always be killers anytime, anywhere.
