this post is not really practical advice if you want to actually enter the US.
here's some: mail it
- 9283409232 2y agoThis is not practical advice either. US Customs will happily open your package and go through it for "inspection"
- elif 2y agoUS customs on mail parcels cannot 1) compel you to unlock your device 2) threaten you with deportation for non-compliance not to mention that there are rooms and people trained in every airport to scan your phone as a routine component of their daily function WHEREAS customs on mail are 90% concerned about duties and 10% concerned about smuggling. 0% on what kinda sms you send to your buddies
- ChocolateGod 2y agoNo but it gives them far more time to plug your phone into a device that dumps the device for decryption later, as well as attempting any kind of security backdoors/exploits, or even clone the SIM card.
- AstralStorm 2y agoAll of which is illegal for them to do for the moment, as opposed to TSA.
- anon291 2y agoHere's the most practical advice... The border agent isn't going to care unless you're actually planning some kind of terror attack.
