Except traveling with a blank phone will probably make you more suspicious. What are you trying to hide, citizen?
- jstarfish 8y agoNot really. Any agent who believes this is going to quickly learn that there are a significant number of travelers who travel with newly-issued/rental devices. Two of my previous employers would issue thin-client loaner laptops for travel to countries with espionage concerns. Even when I travel internationally myself, I rent phones keyed for the destination network and use them in their factory-reset status. No sense in loading up a device with apps and crap for something I'm only going to need for a week.
