Just get a burner to travel. Quit bringing your phones here.

    Better yet, don't go at all. Go to a country that's still a democracy.

    I refused to travel to the US in the last Trump administration. I'm certainly not going to do it in this one.

    As someone else pointed out in another comment on this thread, US border guards have been searching through phones over multiple administrations now. I'm guessing probably since the advent of smartphones.
