This sounds to me like nothing so much as the setup for a Milgram-esque study of just how willing people are to inflict violence upon one another for engaging in trivial but annoying behaviors like ... posting pictures of food on the intern

Does "travel mode" remove all the cookies, local storage, and any other indications that you're a user of the site(s) in the removed vault? Remember: if you're this far down the rabbit hole at immigration, the machine is

If CBP knows you're a 1P user (which they hypothetically could since the NSA has read 1P's emails to you, a foreign user of that service), but you don't have the app installed when you attempt to enter, what makes you think t

That job they're "just doing" is, as it's drilled into their minds, to act as a barrier against anything that even might be a threat in some form or fashion to their country. They have pretty broad authority toward tha

The data is still on the device. Only the password "vaults" have been wiped, obscuring the presence of the data and removing its access. Look, you can twist the words however you want. At the end of the day, if a CBP agent or Fe

> You're only committing a crime if you lie under oath, either to a court or congress. False: the relevant statute, 18 USC § 1001, doesn't mention the word "oath" once, and applies to "any matter within the jur

This is closer to the former than the latter. You aren't erasing the data that's protected under the vaults. You're just temporarily removing the vaults from local storage, disabling access and obscuring its presence. It&#x

> I have all rights to be afraid of racist cops of different color. Especially if they're racist against you, of course you do. That's the point. Please see my reply to 'flukus's comment that is a sibling to yours.
