Stop Fabricating Travel Security Advice
- arca_vorago 10y agoNot a fan of "don't do $Things" followed by a; "Good travel advice to follow in a later post…" Especially when coupled with bullshit statesments like " A wiped device indicates that you are deliberately hiding something from CBP, who will want to know what it is." I don't think any of the half-competent suggestions for device security have ever suggested a completely blank device, but even if so, theres absolutely nothing wrong with carrying for travel security purposes, say, a laptop without a hd and only booting from a live-usb. Having plausible deniability could be useful, but since the truecrypt debacle I'm not aware of a good FDE that offers a similar system as easily. Point being, this just seems like a lazy article cherry-picking particularly bad advice and doesn't even offer better alternatives, indicating an attempt at driving traffic more than providing value in the form of information.
