It's always a concern when travelling to another country. There's the decision between biometrics, passcode and/or burner. When travelling, always keep in mind that legality varies, and a country's compliance with their laws varies as well...

Prepare ahead of time, always.

    In addition to this: airport security cameras are REALLY good these days. So if you are in a risk group and want to use a passcode to secure yourself, make sure you don't unlock your phone at the airport at all.

    These days, with QR boarding passes etc, a burner may be a better alternative for such people.
