I only flew once in my life to Dublin and back and that's all within Europe so minimal checks
If I where to travel to a country where they would take my phone and demand my password I think I'm refusing
"Give your password if you don't have anything to hide" is just plain bullshit
Everyone has stuff to hide, even if it's a password or private note
We should not accept this authoritarian bullshit

And my reply was:
"So you're okay with an agent being at your side all day everyday watching your every move?"
Cause it's the same freaking thing

When they ask you to unlock your phone they will get flashbanged with it.

in reply to stux⚡ • • •Yeah, these days you gotta leave the phone at home if you're going abroad really. Not only if you're going to America. If you're crossing a border at all.
You can always buy or borrow a cheap burner phone at your destination and log in from that.

in reply to stux⚡ • • •should I have to to go the US in the next couple of years, I'd only use a burner phone ... my social media accounts are "anonymous" for a reason (yeah I know they're not if anyone tries hard enough, but anyway)
totally unrelated, is user name "NoneOfYourFuckingBusiness" still available on mstdn.social? 😈

in reply to stux⚡ • • •everything is fine until it isn't so someone may be fine now saying they have nothing to hide but 6 months, weeks, hours later when an irrational administration decide they don't like something, that all changes & legacy activity will be used against people
At this point, the world needs to treat the US as a pariah & carry on without them as much as possible including heavy travel restrictions on the country
All empires fall, what makes america think that their empire won't also fall?
