wipe your device clean

This will be seen as a red flag and get you a few nights-weeks stay in the Gulag.

    I don't mean wipe your device of all data. I mean wipe any of your sensitive data. Keep your texts to friends, photos of your daughter, apps and stuff.

    My institution has a travel warning to the US.

    We cannot cross the border by car, only in airports.

    We cannot travel without a phone, with a burner, or with a wiped phone. We have to memorize our lawyer's number when we are detained. We are told we have no rights and have to comply to any request, this means bend over. Fuck that. No more US travel.
