We all read about the attempts to charge a US Citizen for destruction of evidence for using the distress pin on his GOS phone. So what is safe to do if you know you will be traveling internationally? Are people getting a burner phone and leaving their normal phone at home? What’s to stop you from saying you dont have a phone if you are stopped at a border crossing?

    Why do that? If they ask you why you have a fully factory reset device with you, just say it’s to keep jackboot thugs like you from being assholes.

      Trust me, I would LOVE to insult my way through these assholes, but man, you need to realize noone wants every airport visit to include multiple hours wasted in interrogation. Your comment is absolutely useless.
