Easy? My phone currently shows 77.2GB of 256GB used. Can you routinely download 77GB of data in a foreign country as soon as you clear customs?

- post_break 8y agoNot as easy but do an encrypted backup on to a laptop. I know it's not the point you're trying to make but just thinking out loud how someone could do this. Do a backup, wipe phone, minimal setup so it has nothing on it but is functioning, pass border then restore.
- raverbashing 8y agoUnless you're actually using it as a USB drive, my guess is that this is mostly pictures/videos (which syncs automatically in both Android and iCloud), audio files (which you can backup or use Spotify) and application caches (deletable)
- nutjob2 8y agoYes. Class 4 LTE is widely available and tops out at 150Mbps. I usually get half of that. More to the point you only need your contacts and a few other things immediately.
- majewsky 8y agoYou realize that most data plans have limited volume, right? Mine is technically a flatrate, but after 1.5 GB I get throttled to 2G (which is about as fast as dialup).
- ASalazarMX 8y agoNo, Jesus! Just download the illegal files.
- yjftsjthsd-h 8y agoDoesn't need to be illegal. Any personal info you don't want shared with random strangers should be protected.
- slezyr 8y agoPull out SD card and just put in your boot/anus.
- toyg 8y agoWith gate scanners getting more and more invasive, that's actually likely to get noticed (it's the first place they look for drugs...). Just put the sd card in a checked-in bag, which is only scanned for large threats (bombs, firearms, animals, and smelly drugs). Anything looking like a little piece of plastic among little pieces of plastic will simply be ignored.
