Remember to turn off all biometrics for unlocking your phone, if not now, then at least when traveling internationally. They can scan your face or your fingerprint without a warrant. But they can’t compel you to provide potentially incriminating information including passwords, codes and patterns. Self-destruct codes will likely get you arrested for obstruction of justice and destruction of evidence though, so use those at your own risk. I wouldn’t recommend it.
Best to never keep anything you wouldn’t want a cop or fed seeing anywhere on your device. If you have any materials that you wish to keep private, store them elsewhere as much as possible. Either never store them on your device or regularly back them up somewhere secure and wipe your device clean. Make sure all remote access to those materials are behind secure encrypted password protected connections.
Remember, know the law so that you may follow it to its letter and no further. If you must comply, comply. If you can, don’t comply. Know your rights and practice them. Never volunteer information to law enforcement even if you’re innocent. You don’t know what they know, what they are wanting to hear, what can be misunderstood, confused or contorted to put you into trouble. Every day is shut the fuck up Friday. Nobody will protect you but you.
Finally some common sense comment on this topic.
Or just don’t travel to North Korea, because we are talking about the fascist dictatorship of North Korea, right? No western democracy would do this.
Who’s gonna tell them?
Fuck ICE and fuck CBP.
One day I’d like to perform at Carnegie Hall…
The Knight First Amendment Institute argued as amicus that searching expressive and associational content on phones demands a First Amendment warrant. The Second Circuit rejected that argument, holding that neither the Fourth nor the First Amendment carves out a special exemption for phones at the border.
Wow. Yeah… We all need shitty travel phones with very little on them now. That’s fucking gross.
The Second Circuit rejected that argument, holding that neither the Fourth nor the First Amendment carves out a special exemption for phones at the border.
The second circuit used the right argument but somehow came to the wrong conclusion. The 4th carves out no special exemption, meaning you need a warrant.
Task failed successfully?
Or don’t travel with a phone at all. Take a digital camera and use that for pictures.
Anything else, just buy a used phone at your destination and load all your accounts on that, then delete and reset your phone and sell it before you leave
You realize these powers extend within 100 miles of any border?
Take a digital camera and use that for pictures.
They’ll search that too! Take an analog camera instead. At least that way you get the film developed for free ;).
If by “developed” you mean “opened and exposed to the light” then yes
use one that requires a dark room.
Looks like it’s time to carry a dummy phone with you if you decide to visit the US. Not really sure why any non-citizens would want to do that at this point though.
I’m not even sure why would they even need to see your phone.
All these idiots use cloud, just requesting data from iOS/google is sufficient in most cases. I think they don’t even have to ask, they gotta have direct api access.Interestingly, iOS 27 has a new “2 phones can share 1 number and you can swap between them” which didn’t seem to make a lot of sense.
What in the what now? Just between apple phones or with android or other OS? Guess I hafta go read…
https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/iphone-handoff-one-number-two-phones/
But The Apple documentation (https://support.apple.com/en-us/127274) mentions that your iCloud gets synced between both devices, so now I’m confused what the purpose of this is
It’s so you can buy more phones
Dang, I had other ideas!
What you need:
Two devices running iOS 27 or later that are: Connected to Wi-Fi Sharing the same Apple Account Using Messages in iCloud to ensure messages sync Signed into FaceTime and iMessage with the same Apple Account An eSIM from a carrier that supports iPhone Handoff: USA: T-Mobile Germany: Telekom
If I’m going down for a meme then you can bet your ass I’ll be doing my best to sink my teeth into some throats like I’m Rick fuckin’ Grimes as soon as my phone is taken. In for a penny in for a pound.
This is nothing new. I don’t agree with it but people are acting like this was rolled out yesterday. Unless we can reverse the supreme court ruling on it, nothing will prevent them from searching phones at airports or within 100 of borders.
This ruling was specific to people entering the country, if you aren’t entering the country they need a warrant still.
Yeah that makes sense. Wasn’t this the status quo anyway?
Just upload an encrypted tarball to a cloud service and retrieve it afterwards.
Yeah I should have added that they need a warrant IF you use a passcode. If you use biometrics they may fall into loopholes that they can search it. Essentially they pretty much own your body when arrested, but not your thoughts. So they can’t make you turn over the code without a warrant. Aka if you are going to get arrested turn off your phone. It makes complete sense that you would want to have battery when you got out of jail 8 hours later or I guess longer if they actually had a charge to pin on you. “Why did you turn off your phone” “to make sure I could call someone to pick me up after I get out or call a cab service”
I always hit “Factory Data Reset” before crossing a border, but now they aren’t just at (or nenar) borders.
Time to keep any data on a server, in a jurisdiction that tells the MAGAt motherfuckers where to stuff it.
Sadly hard to find a commercial service. Sync is in Canada, and they’re a compelte joke now that Carney is ruining the place. Tuta is in Germany, and they have AfD running a new Nazi takeover one chunk at a time. Proton is Switzerland which is good… For Citizens. Most of us aren’t Swiss, though.
Honestly we need someone to make a service like Proton, and put it in Iceland…
Which will be good, until that fuckwit Cheeto mistakes it for Greenland and invades.
Encrypt all your remote hosted stuff!
and not with a managed key.
And NEVER use biometrics
You mean Americaland!
MURICA!

**The noise made by “bald eagles” in movies is not actually a bald eagle, they sound too wimpy, so they dubbed in another bird.
You see NY, CT and VT and second circuit court (which 7 of the 13 justices were appointed by liberal presidents) and try to blame this on MAGA?
I’m in Florida, which is a “stand your ground” state.
You can try that “no warrant” shit here, and you’re gonna get your fucking head blown off
See you in the Supreme Court, motherfuckers
Of course you live in Florida. Your other comments are all explained. How sad, to treat others the way you do when you get even the barest hint of push back. Does it make you feel less impotent, to call people “asshole” and “cunt” when they weren’t even being rude to you? (The mods have, sensibly, removed those comments, and they may feel free to do so to this one, should they feel that this violates community rules). To paraphrase what you said in a different comment I saw a minute ago: if you can’t take the heat, step away from the fire.
Quit treating other people like the sack of dirt you perceive yourself to be. Do better.
“Border Agents”
You pulling a gun out at an airport is suicide.
Airport?
What is this? 1999?
Back before ICE who has NEVER stayed where they are supposed to be.
And if it’s not them it’s the dogfuckers at nenw FBI.

Florida is a Border State. ICE do raids at other places including just randomly on the street because of the high population of Latinos and people from South America.
I don’t think you understand that what’s happening is they roll up on people in a van, grab them and don’t announce who or what they are. There’s video all over the Internet of this.
The article isn’t about ice. It specifically says airports
Border Agents are ICE.

I was not talking to you.
More like see you in the morgue. You could potentially take some fed with you but the state doesn’t like it when people challenge their monopoly on violence.

You’d probably blow an acl before you got a shot off
First of all: one tears an ACL, and second: I could shoot ya through a window while sitting in my living room. How in the hell am I gonna tear either of my ACLs while chilling on the couch?
Keep dreaming, buddy
Heads up: they have more guns than you do, padre. And they will flatten you with a drone swarm before you can shoot anywhere near them. Your plan is 0 out of 10 for sound judgment.
I mean, he’s a idiot, but the fucking military isn’t drone striking citizens EVER.
If enough people got together with their 2nd amendment, it would carry a lot of weight.
Maybe call themselves a militia? Tossing it out there.
Who said military? They’re deploying armed drones (nonlethal for now) in Florida schools, in case of mass shooters. ICE will want their own I’m sure.

Tell that to Anwar al-Awlaki. US citizen, killed by drone strike.
Ok. The military isn’t drone striking citizens DOMESTICALLY ever.
Nah it’ll be some domestic policing agency. They’ve bombed Americans in the US before: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1985_MOVE_bombing
My guy, I agree with you in spirit, but the law has been barely hanging on for a while now. The law won’t protect you from a bunch of SS neonazis with more funding than the fucking Marines when you shoot one. If you haven’t noticed, they’re a bunch of cowards who roll in packs and shoot people for just being too close to them.
You’ll bring one, maybe two with you if you’re quick or they’re lined up all nice, but that’s about it
