Carry another then, that's the safest.
The easy solution (if you accept some "risks") that works as well is a
micro-usb & some std linux on it, that is already booted. Give it a
family picture background with sweet kids & some green :) And two or
three non-sense documents that you can open.
I agree with this.
Also, the lack of understanding by border agents how digital devices
work amazes me. What the heck are they even expecting to achieve by
trying to search someone's device? Hunt for serious criminals? LOL.
I always encountered idiots. But if you go the the excited states be
careful. They are as idiotic s others but use powerful tools they do not
understand. A single "I take this with me for a routine check" and you
better are able to run some serious anti-AEM measures afterwards.
If some person wanted to smuggle data (i.e. child porno) into the
country, he would simply have to upload an encrypted ZIP container to a
remote server, enter the country with a blank device and redownload it
once inside. It's not even that difficult to do even for an average user.
I will give no help to carry forbidden and unethical data, but please
never use zip when security matters.
So I really don't see a legitimate reason to search electronic devices
at borders. Data smuggling is just too easy. The worst thing they can do
someone who knows what he's doing is be an annoyance.
They infect your device. You don't necessarily see it, and they don't
know that they actually do it. That's their job.
