Travelling to the US - precautions?
Travelling to the US - precautions?
Hi all,
I am travelling soon to the US, for my vocation and as a long-time private person I will be taking some steps to maintain my privacy as I enter the country.
As this is an interesting area of the topic, I have decided to throw the question open to all of you.
What precautions (IT, physical, mental, otherwise) do you undertake when travelling internationally?

Anything email or text related on your phone should be printed off. If you hand the border agent your phone they will take that opportunity to read your recent texts and emails.
I've never seen this, but I still get physical boarding passes every time. At most airports, you just scan your phone and the agent waves you on. However, if you hand a police officer of any variety your phone, they can attempt to access whatever they want w/o a warrant, which sucks, so it's not really a risk worth taking when you can usually print a boarding pass at a kiosk.
It happens frequently if you're bussing into the US. Using a poor person's method of travel makes them very suspicious
Ah, makes sense. My coworker is from Mexico, and he says it's best to either walk or drive into the US, don't take transit.
They don’t have time to give a shit about each individual that goes through customs
