🛡️ Worried About Device Searches at the U.S. Border? You Should Be.

As CBP searches of personal electronics increase, experts are urging travelers to prepare in advance—especially noncitizens, journalists, and human rights defenders.

📌 What you can do:
・Power down & log out before crossing
・Disable biometrics—use a strong passcode
・Travel with temporary devices and encrypt key data
・Avoid SMS-based 2FA; opt for app-based alternatives
・Protect sensitive contacts or use clean persona accounts

Digital privacy isn’t just for hackers—it’s a necessary skill for anyone navigating international borders in the surveillance era.
