I'm entering the US for work in a few weeks and I plan on taking burner devices.
- soco 9mo agoIsn't that highly suspicious? Or are you preparing burners with years of alternate social profiles activity? Because blatantly lying to the authorities is not something I'd take easily...
- iamnothere 9mo agoWhy lie? If they ask you why there isn’t anything on there, just say you brought a cheap replacement phone because you didn’t want to lose or break your expensive daily device while traveling. Or because you don’t want it stolen or hacked when you’re in a foreign country. All valid reasons. Pick and choose whatever is most accurate for you.
- axus 9mo agoFortunately you can still tell the US border authorities you have a new phone, without consequences.
- soco 9mo agoA new phone yes all fine. But new number, new whatsapp, new signal, new facebook, new xtter, new linkedin, new instagram, new tumblr, new...?
- saguntum 9mo agoYou might need to disclose social media accounts, phone numbers, email accounts, and a lot of other information, regardless of your burner: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1dz0g2ykpeo https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1dz0g2ykpeo Depends on when that goes into effect and how thoroughly it's actually implemented.
