"What you SHOULD be talking about is how, if smartphones are classified as computers, the Patriot act DEFINITELY ALLOWS warrant-less search and seizure of your smartphone at international borders."
If you care, you should definitely be carrying a "travel phone" on your trips.
- darklajid 16y agoRAZR != Smartphone. That's even part of the article. We're talking simple feature phones here, so I think your workaround does not help.
- kelnos 16y agoHis point is that you should have a separate "travel phone" that just has only necessary contacts, no access to your email, a minimum of personal information, no old text messages, etc. That way, if it does get seized, there's little for the authorities to work with. Whether or not it's a smartphone isn't relevant.
