  If concerned about privacy/security during international travel, a good option is to get a burner phone. A cheap android phone is peanuts.

    Give it time. One day people will be arrested at borders for "suspicion that they are travelling with a decoy phone".

  Well shit, this was my reason not to ever visit the US, but I live in Britain so I'm fucked anyway.

    I wish I could laugh, seems the US, UK and Australia are in a competition to see who can out do each other. What is it with English Speaking Countries ? I guess Canada is OK because of Quebec keeps them sane :)

It's not like Americans never get arrested or even jailed for remaining silent, despite it being protected by the fifth amendment. The US and UK are more similar than they are different.
