They are likely to work well ALMOST all the time, but in the unlikely even that that the covert qubes is spotted, the delay could be A LOT longer... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Yeah, there are ways to fake an OS, but that really wasn't my question. I was wondering whether or not folk have noticed that having an OS like Qubes would result in greater scrutiny than Windows or MacOS. I'm not trying to sneak anything across the border; I just don't want to spend an extra two hours at the airport. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

(similar to hasber's suggestion) Do not include the Xen option in the boot. Cross border. Re-run update-grub, this time allowing the multi OS boot. Use Qubes. Before next border crossing, delete the Xen boot options from the grub menu. Etc... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
