The easiest solution to this persistent storage of private citizen's personal data siphoned from their phones or other devices is to carry a burner phone on international trips and weaponize the data that you store on it before you travel. Infect some photos and PDFs with one of those silent exploits that, once it gets into their data center, maps all the drives and wipes them or one that wipes the devices that they are using to siphon all the data at the border crossing. Even sticking them with something like a shitcoin miner would be a win.
Or, target the data storage center directly. I guarantee that someone in their custody chain is dumb enough to click a fake email link or visit that hijacked site to download code that wipes their data center drives. You only need to be lucky once to put them back at square one.
Or better yet, someone could create a repository of shitty memes that can be downloaded to your burner phone before you travel. Just grab a bunch of "Yo' Mama" memes and let the agency hacks waste all their time reviewing the same well-worn collection over and over. The more boring the better.
