Turn off your phone before going through customs or tsa. They can’t compel you to give your password out, but biometrics don’t fall under that category.

And they can refuse you entry if you don’t comply.

Sleeping on an airport bench for your 2 week business trip knowing you're getting fired when you get home

[-] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 6 points 2 weeks ago

Why would you get fired? Like they would have to justify it and I dont think "I was oppressed when visiting a fascist police state" is a legally permissible reason to fire someone in most countries

[-] nick@midwest.social 22 points 2 weeks ago

Yup, that’s true.

No problem. The cellebrite imaging tool will provide power while it dumps your entire phone.

Full Disk Encryption works. Use a strong passphrase. >20 characters.

For those of us with GrapheneOS, you could maybe set up a different user profile solely for travel? Hopefully they wouldn't look closely enough to see that it's not the real one

That feels like a pretty big gamble when the consequence for losing is being detained by ICE.

Doesnt work. They wont let you in if you dont unlock your phone. Same thing if you wipe it. They can refuse you for any reason.

[-] nick@midwest.social 10 points 2 weeks ago

Well ain’t that some bull shit.

[-] nick@midwest.social 12 points 2 weeks ago

For now anyway.
