Not very good reporting.
They can take your phone and image it, but if the phone is off and encrypted, they can't see shit.
They still can't force you to decrypt the device. Make sure you turn it off and use a strong passphrase (not biometrics).
Cellebritre report that can unlock some device from BFU (off). Look at graphene leak of cellebrtie presentation.
I highly doubt that.
Maybe some really, really shitty Samsung with a backdoor. But I don't think that would work with any AOSP, non corporate OS install
They've held that border exception for a long time, 100 miles I think it was. I believe it was always meant to be actually crossing a border but in theory they've held it applying to anyone in the area.
As a general practice if crossing the US border, save everything before arriving to a cloud host you trust, wipe it clean, and re-download after.
I believe it's 100 miles from any border or entry point. Entry points include international airports and water ports. In other words, damn near anywhere.
See I keep hearing that, but never actually heard of this happening...
It would be nice if modern phones let you image the whole disk like you would with a PC. I tire of phone maintenance every time I travel. I like to travel with minimal apps and data in case my phone gets stolen or lost. But I almost wish I could snapshot my phone and apps right after setting everything up and make images for travel and everyday driver use. I think this was possible with root back in the day, but Graphene doesn't give you root.
... and after arriving. Have to load a minimal image. So this causes a major tax and inconvenience upon everyone. Tax after tax after tax.
Those who are a patriot are a curiosity. Their speech can be reduced and measured in whines/hr
At a certain point spyphones are just an inconvenience.
One more excuse to get out of travelling there!
Oh my goodness gotta cross border with burner phones now. What a horror dystopia and completely anti American. Well I guess is mask off time with the fascists. The federal government has antagonized everyone from other countries to its own states.
The end of this overreach can only be achieved by class solidarity hope we succeed
How often do you cross borders that you suddenly need burner phones?
I have lived in the USA for 4 decades and have crossed the international border.... 3 times. That's probably more than a lot of people have done in their lifetimes.
No search can be done if no phone exists but better yet to not go there.
and the dumpster fire that is the USA flames on!
