    Or if you do, fill your phone with 1000s of up close photos of assholes. See if they figure it out.

    Realistically the next big security push on mobile devices, due to things like this, should be plausible deniability. In the same way that VeraCrypt lets you set up encryption where you can "unlock" encrypted content and it's a fallback to secure your privacy, phones should allow a backup account or something similar that has select group of apps, photos and messages, perhaps depending on the PIN you use to unlock your phone

    Like 10+ years ago I had a "private photos" app that would open up two completely different photo vaults based on what pin you entered. I didn't even think it was a big deal at the time because it makes perfect sense to do. I'm amazed that hasn't become standard practice in the meantime.

    The sad thing is I agree with you, but the sadder thing is I was born here, and still live here. But I’m going to be filling my phone with these anyway when I travel abroad and (presumably) return.

    Not returning is pretty enticing though, if I didn’t have elderly parents to take care of.

    So can he sue USA for being unjustly returned?
    It seems that should be an option. Sue USA through the embassy in Norway.
    That way the NHS will have to show probable cause, and if they can't they have to pay compensation.

    IDK if Norway has, but here in Denmark we do have warnings about traveling to USA now!
    Some months ago this warning mostly regarded LGBT people, but here in June the warning has changed to regard everybody!!
    Simply don't go to USA unless you have to!

    Please note that you may be refused entry or be expelled from the United States if...

    Not only are there warnings: Around a month ago, a fund that has funded some students at top US universities quite literally evacuated several of the students they were funding.

    We're talking about Norwegian students in the US getting a call telling them to "get your passport, and get on the first possible flight home, don't worry, we're paying." This was just around when people with certain skin colours, political opinions, or sexual preferences started getting snatched off the streets.

    That's when I realised how absolutely fucked shit has gotten over there. When Norwegian citizens on student visas were literally told to evacuate the country.

    I also recently read a story about a Dane, who was married to an American woman, and had several children, and had lived and worked in USA for years was expelled.
    IDK why he didn't have the papers he needed, he should have known better. But people are naive, and he probably thought being married to an American was enough?
    But we actually have the same rule in Denmark now, being married to a Dane is no longer enough to be allowed to stay here. It used to be an automatic permit to stay, but not anymore. So he definitely should have known.

    If we are thinking of the same guy, he had a green card but forgot to file some obscure form at some point. And was detained at his naturalization hearing, aka when trying to become a citizen. He absolutely had the papers he needed, he had the permanent resident card, and there was never any communication about the missing form.

    Meanwhile, here in Canada it's fucking crickets. They briefly had a warning about the protests in LA, but there's no recommendation or warning about visiting the US. They're kidnapping people off the streets, imprisoning them, deporting them to other countries, and Trump has repeatedly mentioned annexing our country and yet our government is saying nothing.

    There are like 8000 words on the travel advisory, which states: "take normal security precautions" with a green label seal of approval and cautions with several paragraphs and a bullet point list on ticks and insect bite prevention, weather, and washing your hands. What a lovely country!

    Oh, and the risk of peaceful protests turning violent (lol), and risk of terrorism, and a link to an active shooter preparedness guide, 2 fucking sentences about lgbtq being "affected" by laws in some states, and then there's this Nazi papers please warning:

    It actually says this on the travel advisory.

    Proof of status

    Authorities may request proof of legal status in the U.S. at any time. Be prepared to show evidence of your legal presence in the U.S.

    (Since fucking when?)

    But it's 2 👍 from the gov travel and tourism department.

    Meanwhile : EXERCISE A HIGB DEGREE OF CAUTION WHEN YOU GO TO ....Netherlands?! Wtaf?

    So you are saying this is lawless territory?
    That does not sound acceptable.
    Obviously it would probably be the NHS that is sued, because that's the arm of the American administration that did this.
    And since he was expelled, I believe the case should be allowed to run in Norway.

    The US Department of Homeland Security has rejected Kitchen’s claim, calling it “unequivocally false.”

    DHS is unequivocally lying through their teeth.

    This kind of shit is why I fear to go vacation elsewhere. If they knew about half the things I've said (or what I done to get perma-ed off reddit), they'll be meeting me at the airport...

    If you wanted to make America more secure, disband ICE and TSA completely and replace them with nothing.

    Smaller, more secure government.

  • I get the point of needing some kind of security at the airport, and having a national agency provide said security makes more sense to me than requiring each airport to wing it. provides some consistency. that being said, i have plenty of complaints about the current way it's implemented.

    Because people allow them to. "I forgot the PIN" is still a valid answer. But I want to know why people are bringing their primary phones at all.

    If you refuse access they immediately refuse entry. Which means you're immediately deported
