LOL they changed the headlines to “hateful towards U.S. Policy” now? I thought it was “critical of Trump”.

“Traveling to the US,” are you actually mad??
It’s fine, same as it always was crossing the border, just don’t fuck around lying to border guards or announce you’re taking bookings for tattoos this week in Seattle on Instagram. Basically the news has decided to publicize this shit like it wasn’t happening 2 months ago either, same as how they focus on “kids in cages” only when a republican is president or plane crashes that 2 weeks there.
It’s not that uncommon for border patrol to go through your phone. I went to Canada 6-7 years ago and they went through my sister’s phone because she told them she wanted to meet a Canadian friend she had made online. Border patrol read their conversations while we waited in a confinement room. It was the last time I went to Canada
So they were trying to keep your sister from being human trafficked and you had a tantrum and refused to come back? Probably not a big loss for Canada.
No I went to Canada and had a great time. Since Canada will search your phone I calmly decided to vacation elsewhere. Really not a big deal.
Good luck finding anywhere else in the world where you aren’t subject to the search of your electronics. Canada appreciates your decision not to visit again.

I’ve travelled to dozens of countries and the only one where my phone was searched was the US. They searched a sanitized decoy phone. My actual phone was at home safe and sound. I didn’t cross my arms and stomp my feet and say I was never doing back because I’m not a petulant, entitled child. I understand that I am subject to the laws of the country that I’m visiting and go prepared. I think that anyone who swears that they are never going to visit a country that searched their sister’s phone to make sure she wasn’t walking into being human trafficked is someone that we can quite happily do without visiting our country.
If that’s being a dick then I’m a dick.

I’m not insisting on being right. I am right.
Cool. There really isn’t anything there worth seeing except people with beady eyes and flapping heads. Btw your maple syrup is tasteless, overpriced, and something only a douche bag would enjoy.
Is there really someone that considers’ cell communication secure?
Everything you do on a phone is recorded. It’s literally device stamped by towers.
Country doesn’t matter for phones.
Burners matter cause there is nothing associated with them, every country monitors cell phones. It’s not a burner if you pay with a bank account or credit card.
The closest you can get is buy the Phone and cards when you need them with cash. AND that still locates you in store once every three months.
You seem to have missed the point.
Not really, too many people buy burners with credit cards and bank account, then tie them to known emails. Knowing that everything you do on your phone is recorded should be common knowledge, and keeping the payment and accounts anonymous as a necessity should also be common knowledge.
Unfortunately people pay for them with company or personal cards or bank accounts all the time. And even when they pay for them with cash they don’t use throwaway emails.
PS this is from someone who has used burners for 15+ years.
I think the point was not having a phone with you when you go through security and not about privacy when you are on the other side
100% agreement. Taking a phone through customs is a surefire method of burning a burner because it gets tied to a passport.

Its possible to own a phone and never use a SIM. This is the recommend option. Never connect to a cell tower. Just use WiFi.
It’s not the traceability of the phone. It’s the contents of the phone.
The contents of our phones is deeply personal and some courts have ruled that makes them part of the fourth amendment protections, but it’s not made it to the Supreme Court (afaik, ianal) and border patrol doesn’t care as this case makes evident.
The benefit of a burner phone is that you don’t knock out your primary phone in order to remove “incriminating” evidence like that time your friend texted you that Donald Trump is an orange bellend.
It’s not that the border patrol doesn’t care, they have an exception
Wondering when my publishing record qualifies me for asylum.
Don’t keep anything incriminating on your phone, yeah american border guards but also the fucking RCMP likes to grab phones.
Easy fix for me I just won’t go.
Just like going to china.
Ngl China didn’t touch my phone upon entry. Think my iris got scanned though and certainly got full palm printed.
One of the two people I know who have been to china had their phone taken for hours when they arrived. The other person reported much the same experience as you. The friend who had her phone taken was a US citizen but born of Chinese immigrants. The other who didn’t get their phone taken was not. I can’t help but think that her parents status there had something to do with.
That one born of Chinese immigrants would have been considered a citizen of China by the guards, not of the USA.
If you really need to go to the US - Don’t bring any electronic devices with you through security or while transitioning through borders.
Leave your devices at home. Bring a single function camera with you if you want.
Once you get across the border … buy a new or used phone. If you have friends or family waiting for you, ask them to get you a phone, maybe even an old phone or get them to buy a used phone that you can use during your stay (pay them to get it of course).
Set up your new phone - load your data through cloud based systems … if you are organized enough, you can set up a cloud based password manager to handle all your other data services.
Then when you leave, reformat and reset your phone and either try to sell off the phone you just bought, give it away or just toss it.
Go through security again without a device.
Breaking: Trump justice dept to define eating brie as Domestic Terrorism.
New executive order just dropped: from now on only “easy cheese”
US FDA announces easy cheese as the healthiest option for kids everywhere!
This would send my wife off the deep end. Don’t do this, Orange Fat Man.
Who said anything about traveling to the US?
There’s something ironic about reading this with a Home Depot (huge Trump supporter) ad embedded in it.
Lol free speech amirite
I actually live in the US and am considering a burner for when I travel.
I have a question for you, do you actually need REAL ID to travel domestically?
Afaik, your state Id or driver license is your legal identification. And states honor the IDs of other states.
I refused to use id.me to get unemployment insurance because I don’t want a private 3rd party having that info plus a face scan.
I worry about this: https://www.dhs.gov/real-id but from the website, it seems that many states id/driver licenses are “REAL ID compliant” and you only need it if you fly domestically or wanting to access “certain federal facilities”.
Stay safe, friend.

Starting May 7, yes you’ll need a REAL or Passport to board US domestic flights.
Soon, you’ll need it to fly domestically.
They actually set this up pretty far in advance though. For instance, I’m from Texas, where any IDs issued since October 2016 are complaint. It’s impossible for me to have a current ID that’s non-compliant.
So from my perspective there won’t really have been any changes since 2001 in my flying experience.
