this is a good question.
1) i don't really have anything to hide / i'm not doing crimes
however i also:
2) don't want to give my unlocked phone to a border force so they can download my entire life
but if i am compelled to unlock a blank phone to a border force:
3) they will suspect me of doing crimes
- lolinder 2y agoIt's not a difficult answer—I bring a burner phone with me when traveling internationally because I don't want to run any risk of a thief getting the keys to the kingdom. Sure, I could remote wipe if that happened, but it feels a lot safer to just not have a phone with real data on it at all. You're not the first person they've detained who didn't want to bring their real phone with them for totally innocent reasons.
- adolph 2y agoMy workplace does this for phones and laptops when people travel overseas. I thought it was pretty standard stuff nowadays.
- yreg 2y agoHow do you make sure they don't get their hands on the actual phone? Do you hide it?
- pseudalopex 2y agoThey leave it at home probably.
- zoklet-enjoyer 2y agoDamn, are you serious? DON'T BRING IT WITH. How is that hard to understand?
- yreg 2y agoOk, so live like rms. I thought lolinder brings both their main phone and a decoy burner. No need to scream at me. Unfortunately I need to use my phone from time to time.
