This is my personal blog, which is about news in general. we have a collaboration, with Mashable. my blog It's called ''Find a way out of reality'' why?, I ask you that question. find a way to escape reality.
Yup. Only authorized people are allowed to have access to the devices I am in possession of. If the government wants to access this info, I have 3 words: get a warrant.
Is Mashable the same as Ray story or Salon for being anti-American? Why is the media against electronic searches for immigrants? If there is a problem they shouldn't be let in.
While I'd personally recommend non-US citizens just avoid the US as much as they possibly can... No matter where you're traveling to, getting a burner phone for use while traveling is generally a good idea. If it gets lost, stolen, or broken, it's not as big a deal as if you, for example, leave your primary phone in your hotel room and don't realize until you don't have enough time to go back and still make your flight.
Set up a single email address on the device and use it only for things like boarding passes, hotel booking confirmations, and emergency contact from friends/family. Then if some SS Storm Trooper CBP agent wants to go through it, who cares? They won't find anything. And if they question why you have a burner phone you can tell them the above. Less of a hassle if anything happens to it, and you're on vacation, and you don't want to spend it dealing with other shit that can wait until you get home. If you're on a business trip just take your business phone and leave your personal one at home. Then your company's lawyers can take it up with CBP if they seize it or something.
Itās just the Us though, China, Australia amongst others can and have taken tourists phones and deported or arrested people based on what is found or installed spyware.
I'd have to rethink some things on how I travel since I use my phone for banking, navigation, and pictures. None of this is an impossible thing to deal with, I just have to remember how we lived life pre phone ;)
We live in kind of a golden age of digital services where we can do things remotely with portable devices. We rushed into it excitedly and without considering some consequences, and events like this affecting travel in the USA will stimulate some discussion and thought about that.
Turkey has been checking tourists' socia media for years, and you could go from the entry airport directly to jail if you ever badmouthed dictator Erdogan. Russia was a no-go for Blackberries for more than a decade because their encryption couldn't be broken and they'd be confiscated at entry; keeping one would get you arrested for using technology deemed illegal by the Kremlin. And so on... The number of countries where you can truly safely travel with your gadgets is a shrinking small number.
For us, burner phone and laptop. It should be standard for any travel. Keep it just for those trips. Have your passwords synced to a password manager and memorize the login for that. Don't save anything on the device.
A good tip from decades ago was to visit all muslim countries your heart desires before visiting Israel. Israel tolerated a tourist's history (with their sensational threat screening method) but went with "money is money". The other way around would not go - Iran or some other muslim middle eastern country would absolutely not accept entry of someone who visited Israel for whatever reason.
Sometimes it would help to renew the passport. But stamps and sticker visas started disappearing some 10-20 years ago as they were being replaced with digital tracking, and I don't know if these countries allow each other access to tourist entry-exit databases.
Heh, yeah. It was in the late 90s when my friend and I visited Israel. I was ok, but the immigration official got excited about my friendās Egyptian passport stamps.
After a few minutes questioning, they let us in anyway.
Things are probably different now. I think we went during a quiet period between wars.
I wonāt ever go to the middle east again, and neither will my friend, because heās dead.
Itās been more than 20 years, and maybe Iām not remembering it correctly, but when I last went to Israel, they didnāt stamp my passport but they stamped a piece of paper and inserted that in my passport.
Australia and many countries have denied entry to hundreds of thousands of people for not unlocking their phones, and/or finding texts and/or emails for jobs/income that violates their temporary visasā¦ Many countries have denied entry, deported, and/or confiscated millions of dollars in supplies/clothing/art/food/etc etcā¦
You have no right to privacy when crossing a border, while granted by definition itās an invasion of privacy for them to go through your phone so is them checking your suite case. It has nothing to do with western or eastern countries, itās just how some countries manage their borders.
So its bad if you say you are on vacation and i check your phone and you have correspondence about working, but you are on a tourist visa not a work visa, or basically any other reason to would overstay your visa, sorry but interview and check phones is the modern interview and show me your papers, alway, going through customs and immigration be like it is
honestly, someone doing this is the least of my concern, id rather maintain some privacy when travelling, i prioritize that over people lying about whether theyāre on vacation or working
We have been sleep walking into a surveillance state under the rubric of combating terrorism (that part is kinda real).
There have been people around (across the political spectrum) who have been concerned for years about legislation for combating terrorism and how it strips people of rights, and allows suspension of some pretty fundamental judicial elements.
The reason for that is because those same tactics, laws and procedures can be deployed against ordinary people if a government with that intent shows up.
So an opinion like āI think maybe we shouldnāt bomb those children so muchā is now a legal gray area because the US government has been persuaded that criticizing Israel is akin to terrorism.
You have a 13 year account, and you havenāt heard of China checking laptops and installing spyware, checking phones for saying bad stuff about China, or all the various made up bullshit and hyperbole?
Maybe you went through the nsa / patriot act years and still remember things, but if youāve been paying attention, the past 5 years itās only been anti-china propaganda on reddit.
Why is everyone panicking about phones being inspected? If you visit European countries, Asia, Australia and anyone else they can also inspect the phones.
Because in America weāre taught that āonly China does this.ā Also - the issue is less that you will be inspected, but more-so the completely unknown consequences since our current pres isnāt operating to any sort of norms.
Because the 4th amendment is supposed to protect citizens from stuff like this. But they threw it out the window after 9/11 with the patriot act and everything like it that came after. The government should not be allowed to search your private documents without probable cause and a court order, the constitution says so.
do the countries you listed have a recent controversy about sending innocent people to CECOT?
the current administration is radical and vicious. if they find on my phone a text of me saying something pro-palestinian/anti-israel is the government going to classify me as a potential threat to national security because i might insight protest against americas ally? then when im designated a threat to national security they can ship me off to El Salvador? itās hyperbole and exaggerated but radical things are happening now and nothing is off the table
Have you been visiting European countries? No one has ever asked if I even owned a phone, let alone see inside it. I haven't even been asked to put my phone in the luggage bins with my other electronics.
You're free to criticise leaders in Europe and Australia, no longer the case in the US : On Wednesday, it was reported a French scientist was denied entry to Houston after U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers found messages criticizing President Donald Trump's cuts to science funding https://www.newsweek.com/border-patrol-checking-phones-social-media-messages-us-immigration-2048147
In certain countries you can formally request businesses remove your information. You can either delete your social media account or put it on private and log out then delete your apps. Also ensure you log out and delete your password managers temporarily, just so they canāt get into your other accounts. Ensure that you use a different phone number than from the one you use for MFA or remove that number from your accounts as an option for MFA.
What would they do if you just left your phone at home? I live close to the border, would never go there but for one family member who lives there. If I just said I left my phone at home, what would they do? Iām sure theyād ask why but if you told the truth and just said, āfor privacy reasons,ā would they deny you entry?
When travelling to countries like this for work, employers often give you a clean phone and a clean laptop. Any data needed is downloaded via a vpn when in the county, and the devices are wiped before leaving the country again.
Whatās the point of any of this bullshit? If I want to āsmuggleā digital content Iāll encrypt it, post it to the Pirate Bay, cross the border, and then download it once past Customs.
This is just harassment and a pretext to force subservience. If they want my phone they can have my burner.
This isnāt about anything tangible. They have quotas to meet, and your memes are all the justification they need right now to target you for detention or rendition. Seriously, donāt go there if you think there is still a logic to any of this.
Decent people living in democratic countries donāt usually like to see their personal data and information verified by strangers without any justification, that being said seams they also want to destroy tourism in the U.S., thatās great for the economy š
I left facebook back in 2017 and I don't use instagram. does this mean that if they can't find my profile, they'll detain me for being suspiciously un-easy to spy on?
Why go there? Business is dead and the cost of everything is skyrocketing, you can pretty much do anything in Canada that you could do in the US so go to Canada.
(Not so) Fun fact: Until you have cleared customs your constitutional rights (protecting you from unlawful searches and seizures) are not accessible to you.
How about at a border check vs. customs? In such instances, a citizen may not have actually left the country but is required to cross a border check during their route home.
Special rulesā¦or rather suspension of rights are in effect at or near borders. For example when you land at an airport in your home country you are subject to warrantless searches and can have your personal effects seized or confiscatedā¦.BUT it canāt just be based on race or ethnicityā¦though the courts have given federal authorities broad discretion in the name of ānational securityā.
Additional not so fun fact: 2 out of 3 Americans live within the so-called 100 mile border zone where the federal government claims enhanced powers to search, seize and detail people regardless of their nationality or citizenship. Hereās hoping the current administration doesnāt grossly abuse that powerā¦:
Travel with second hand burner and have a second set of social media accounts you use on occasion to show some activity on them and and those your logged into only for the American gestapo to see . No text messages with friends or anyone with more then ā how are thingsā and a second email address on your phone you use only on an occasion . Subscribe to a half dozen neutral sites like animal rescue and health sites and a shopping site or something to fill the inbox with a few things. Back up that phones apps for quick reinstall . Access your regular accounts when you get to your destination and reset your phone and reinstall the backed up apps and log back into second accounts before crossing again.
At that point you should just avoid coming to America and spend your money elsewhere. Fascism runs amok in this country, donāt subject yourselves to it.
the simplest right is "don't go to the US"
ReplyDeleteThese phones have been a leash from the get-go but nobody seemed to realize it. Now they do.
ReplyDeleteDonāt come here if you value your life
ReplyDeleteSounds unconstitutional, we love that for us.
ReplyDeleteThought crimes.
ReplyDeleteUsa is no longer freedom and dreams
ReplyDeletethere are no rights and security in a nazi regime
ReplyDeleteBest time to visit the United States of America!
ReplyDeleteIt's irony, right?
Deleteyour rights? We don't have any. The constitution is nothing more than a legal argument for court rather than a protection against oppressions.
ReplyDeleteWho cares, do you really have anything to hide
ReplyDeleteYup. Only authorized people are allowed to have access to the devices I am in possession of.
DeleteIf the government wants to access this info, I have 3 words: get a warrant.
it is not enforced equally.
ReplyDeleteIs Mashable the same as Ray story or Salon for being anti-American? Why is the media against electronic searches for immigrants? If there is a problem they shouldn't be let in.

Or just.. I donāt knowā¦ donāt come here with the intent to commit crimes?
DeleteDefine crimes. Is using free speech a crime? Is political discontent a crime?
DeleteThis guy knows how to do things
DeleteI mean, there are "dumb phones" that just require a sim card for as low as $30.
DeleteThey're barebones, have no apps, only call and text.
Airlines around the world still offer printed boarding passes, so you don't need the mobile version or the QR code.
For hotel/car rental confirmations, unless you need to cancel or adjust your booking, you can text it to yourself and the number to the company.
Itās just the Us though, China, Australia amongst others can and have taken tourists phones and deported or arrested people based on what is found or installed spyware.
DeleteAlways take disposable tech overseas.
Anything that has you scared to have your phone checked coming into my country.
DeleteHahahaha ah yes the crimes of being a tourist or having an opinion. What is this North Korea? They are arresting tourists!
DeleteTypically, if you break a countries laws, then you are arrested. That is how things tend to work in the real world.
DeleteTry not being miserable?
DeleteHas asking foreign nationals not to commit crimes in my country upset you?
DeleteI'd have to rethink some things on how I travel since I use my phone for banking, navigation, and pictures. None of this is an impossible thing to deal with, I just have to remember how we lived life pre phone ;)
DeleteItās becoming progressively more impossible to live without a smartphone each day though, itās a slow progression.
DeleteWe live in kind of a golden age of digital services where we can do things remotely with portable devices. We rushed into it excitedly and without considering some consequences, and events like this affecting travel in the USA will stimulate some discussion and thought about that.

DeleteExceedingly rare. Like millions of others, I travel to China annually for work, often multiple trips through the year, and never have any problems
DeleteWhat is a good burner phone brand type style, that I can advise older generations that are not used to getting a burner phones.
DeleteFor us, burner phone and laptop. It should be standard for any travel. Keep it just for those trips. Have your passwords synced to a password manager and memorize the login for that. Don't save anything on the device.
DeleteIt might also be wise to get a second passport, that thatās clean of stamps from āterroristā countries.
DeleteFor example, the sales guys going to the middle east usually have separate passports, depending on the destination country.
A good tip from decades ago was to visit all muslim countries your heart desires before visiting Israel.

Deleteokay? and what if you're moving overseas? you can't not take your phone with you then.
DeleteUh... ok? Not sure why you think that needed to be said, but... congrats?
DeleteIf they suspect you are using a burner phone at the border, they will absolutely turn you away, especially if youāre anyway young and tech savvy.
DeleteAustralia and many countries have denied entry to hundreds of thousands of people for not unlocking their phones, and/or finding texts and/or emails for jobs/income that violates their temporary visasā¦ Many countries have denied entry, deported, and/or confiscated millions of dollars in supplies/clothing/art/food/etc etcā¦
ReplyDeleteAnyway, other than those facts ā¦.
I thought only China checks phones (ironically they donāt really do), whatās with these intrusion of privacy from western nations.
DeleteYou have no right to privacy when crossing a border, while granted by definition itās an invasion of privacy for them to go through your phone so is them checking your suite case. It has nothing to do with western or eastern countries, itās just how some countries manage their borders.
DeleteYouāre right, but you missed my point. Western nations have been spreading propaganda about only China doing this.
DeleteItās all been projection to the ignorant that rarely travel for domestic distraction and manufactured boogeymen.
So its bad if you say you are on vacation and i check your phone and you have correspondence about working, but you are on a tourist visa not a work visa, or basically any other reason to would overstay your visa, sorry but interview and check phones is the modern interview and show me your papers, alway, going through customs and immigration be like it is

DeleteNo one cares about facts on blog...
