You are standing in front of a border security agent and have just been asked to hand over your login information for both your phone and laptop. (and if in the USA, also to your social media accounts)

What have done to prepare for this situation?

I would ask for a warrant from a judge. They can't detain you for longer than 48 hours without one. If they obtain one I will tell them I no longer remember my password and that I have been unable to login myself. They could not prove me guilty in the court of law. It would be a huge hassle, but I don't care.

I'd give it to him.

#1. The laptop is just a generic company issued POS that's basically Windows + Office and no pre-installed software. The login is Administrator, no password. There's nothing on it.

#2. VPN bitch. I can remotely connect to a corporate VPN to get access to what I need and run remote apps. Everything is stored in the cloud. The way the law is written I cannot be compelled to reveal this info. It is a trade secret. Connection info does not need to be saved anywhere. Client can be downloaded after I get to my destination.

#3. Fuck social media. I am anti social. You can have my worthless Facebook page. Haven't posted there in 5 years. I'm not on LinkedIn.

#4. Mobile is a pre-paid. Just for this trip. Have fun with it buddy.

My job can be done without storing tons of sensitive shit on a laptop or device that I care about.

Also border nazis better get a good THz scan of my nutsack. Waxed it just for them.

i didn't take anything over the border but the basics and just accessed my things at home remotely
>>
>>59929767
this is part of my conundrum, there's two solutions to this
>windows partitions/disk alongside encrypted linux
>change bios default near border entry
>if they want to see it let them, it deletes the linux partition and 0s out select information upon windows bootup, space is spoofed and disks are hidden to make it look like no other OS exists to the untrained eye
>just rsync linux back over across the border

obviously the problem remains that deeper investigation can show shit and they've got evidence of deleting infromation

the second option is something I'm struggling to find more information on. There are bootloaders that exist that make this more transparent, hidden and hide your tracks better but the only people I know that use them are autists that dont share information
>>
Just upload any personal data/files to a server/cloud and factory reset your phone before going through any customs.

Once you are through, redownload that shit and get on with your day. Physical checks are stupid.

For laptops, just have a second barebones HDD and swap that in before the trip. Download anything you need while on site and delete again before passing through.

Put your normal HDD back in once home.

>>
>>59930043
The social media stuff only seems to be at US customs at the moment and particularly if you are muslim. If they don't believe you that you don't remember or don't have any social media accounts, then the worst that will happen is that you will be denied entry. If you are a citizen, you won't be denied entry, but you will probably be detained for a few hours and your devices will almost certainly be confiscated for several months.

Basically refusing to cooperate in any way will probably just result in you getting detained/turned away or your shit confiscated. It's better to just unlock the devices and have nothing on them.

Laptop is fully encrypted at the bios level and drive. Use an iPhone 6. Would just tell them to keep the devices.

Normally would tell them that they would have to go through my company's lawyer to get access to the devices as I'm not allowed to give out my passwords. However I work for myself now.

I have some patient info on my laptop for my work. I also have worked on NSA and defense projects in the past but they weren't classified, but it was fun to tell customs that I work for the office of the director of national intelligence.

I don't use social media.

Seriously just tell them to keep the equipment.

What is the point of doing shit like this? It just makes the already tedious task of getting on a plane even longer for everyone (even those who don't get """randomly""" selected, since it takes time away from TSA agents who could be working people through the line). If I were a terrorist, I could just wipe all my devices before boarding, and avoid tweeting about terrorist things. Searching people for weapons/bombs should be more than enough.

>there have never been any successful terrorist attacks that were stopped by the TSA

No shit. Terrorists attempt to infiltrate our nation and airlines hundreds of times per day and they are repeatedly foiled by the strict and effective procedures that we have put in place to prevent them. You don't know about them precisely because of how effective the TSA is at doing its job.

I wish Trump would disband the TSA for one day so you could see how easily this country can descend into hell.

What actual law has been violated? I'm no lawyer but I'm pretty sure you're not allowed to arrest someone without at least accusing them of a specific crime. Furthermore, I obtained these images from fairly well known websites hosted in the United States, which have hosted these kinds of images for years. Why has no legal action been taken against them? After all, these sites host large numbers of these images, and are accessible to virtually anyone who goes online - if these images are indeed harmful and illegal, why then is enforcement effort directed against random individuals who possess only a few of these images and do not have any clear intent to distribute them, rather than the sites which possess large numbers of these images and do act as distributor?

So what if you just let them examine your laptop and don't so much as shout if they pull nonsense like "anime pictures are illegal"?

>Everything was fine before 9/11

Before 9/11 we were safe in our own nation. Now, there are people out there--tens of thousands--that would love to kill you, personally, given the slightest chance. While terrorism exists, we can never feel safe. The fact that terrorists have not performed a successful large-scale attack since then is a testament both to their incompetence and to the effectiveness of our "tedious" security measures.

It is never possible for security to catch 100% of attacks, but consider also that TSA agents are trained to detect psychological signals of would-be attackers that might not manifest in the people running tests.

The only way to prepare is to not bring things like that on a plane. If you absolutely need a phone, buy a dumbphone and throw it away once you're done. If you absolutely need a laptop, either ship it separately or buy a cheap netbook in the country you're visiting. If you visit often, see if you can leave that device with someone who lives in that country so you don't need to keep buying new netbooks or whatever.

tl;dr The only winning move is not to play their shitty game.

>>am completely friendly and compliant, just smile and casually explain whats going on
how do you *casually* explain what a desktop environment is, let alone how a laptop works without one, to a shaniqua?

i'm not asking this rhetorically. if you haven't practiced this explanation, then it's not going to be casual. it'll be awkward and confusing fo a shaniqua.

>>shaniqua loses interest and lets me go
actually let's clarify something. there's TSA and then there's border patrol.

TSA is shaniqua. they make sure your laptop isn't a bomb by asking you to activate the device, evidently unfazed by the fact that if it IS a bomb they're asking you to kill everyone.

border patrol are LEOs. they're in the same category as cops and have similar powers. no shaniquas here.

but all that aside, they're not just looking at shit until they lose interest. anything that doesn't conform to existing patterns arouses suspicion. it's fine to have a laptop with no desktop environment, but you're going to have to explain it in a way that itself doesn't arouse suspicion. and some of the technical language that goes into explaining a desktop environment and stuff might itself seem suspicious to them.

you want to avoid a conversation, not instigate one. have your laptop boot into Windows 7 or something by default, no password and no access to interesting files. make the second option in GRUB your actual operating system with all of your CP or terrorist files or whatever. a laptop that blinks some big gray letters for a few seconds and then loads Windows isn't interesting. one without a password is especially uninteresting. a laptop that doesn't turn on in a recognizable way to the officer is really fucking curious.

>>59929843
>The way the law is written I cannot be compelled to reveal this info. It is a trade secret.
I don't know about this. US law says Border Patrol can search your shit without a warrant. They may be able to force you to give up a VPN password if they knew about it.
>>
>>59931100
it's unclear, but the search and seizure rule is only relatively diminished at the border (or rather within 100 miles, which is like 90% of the population) because it's not considered *unreasonable*. the directive of the 5th amendment is much more unequivocal than in the 4th amendment.

your constitutional rights are never really suspended. the criteria for "unreasonable" and other interpretable things just changes depending on the circumstances (arguably way, way too much when border patrol is concerned).

Laugh and watch them try to turn it on I suppose.

i don't see what's so funny. you're at customs. you don't get to keep going until they're satisfied.

your setup only serves to discourage thieves (who presumably see that your laptop doesn't turn on and figure it to be worthless). someone at TSA finding they can't turn your laptop on is going to make a very hard assumption that they're dealing with a bomb in a laptop case. border patrol is going to pull you aside and make you plug it in and then turn it on.

you guys seem to think you're being clever. these guys aren't simple python scripts. they're human beings. this shit isn't clever, and even if it was, their standard response to clever shit is to throw you in a room for 45 minutes and threaten you (emptily or not, it honestly doesn't matter to them)

I've gone through US customs before, even got "randomly selected" for a thorough search (which consisted of me and my family getting pulled to the front of the line and searched the same way they normally search you), they didn't even ask about my electronics, I just had to send them through the X-ray machine.

Border searches matter little. Large corps already monitor and read everything as does government to varying degrees already. The whole AI/machine learning sham is nothing more than a DRM/Propaganda/ Narrative control scheme. Google and others for example will know the phrases and terminology used by even specific users and suppress them automatically. We already saw this happen during the lead up to the election plain as day. Mega corps that control all the media worldwide for the most part are all complicit as well. There are no safe havens.

if you're important enough to fly, your life is probably important enough that it's consequential whether you get held up for as little as an hour or two, let alone 2 days. let alone getting charged for shit.

if your time is so worthless that it's basically inconsequential whether you get detained for 48 hours, please don't fly. flights are crowded enough as it is without worthless meatbags taking up seats.

I have deniable full disk encryption. My /boot and header image is on a separate microSD which fits in my ear.
If they don't know about this microSD they can't prove I have anything installed on my laptop. The SSD looks like it's just random data written to it.
Even if they knew that it has an encrypted container on it, they'd have to brute force each block to find the correct one without the header image.

But most of them were orchestrated by the FBI themselves.
They specifically target mentally ill Muslims and replace all their social contacts with informants that work their victim till they are convinced to buy weapons. Then the FBI steps in once they have ANY evidence that leads to a prosecution.
They do this regularly to prove how effective their surveillance is and to obtain even more freedom to snoop on citizens.

your best bet is to disable fingerprint scanning, clear everything off of your device, and use a disposable passcode (e.g. set one that you'll reset after you leave the airport). you should have no linked accounts or anything on your device.

or, you know, assume that you'll be in the 99.9% where nothing bad happens to you. if you leave your car unlocked for a few hours it's actually relatively unlikely to be stolen. nobody will have any sympathy for you if it DOES get stolen, but often the worst case scenario just doesn't come to pass, so don't sweat it so much.

Maybe, but you can go to trial and you have a 5th amendment right to not be forced to incriminate yourself, and that overrides faggy police powers. For example, a cop cant force you to unlock your phone. The TSA cant either. They will just deny you entry.

if the cop is telling you to do something and the thing they're telling you to do is legal then yeah it's a crime. what fallback do police in your country have if they tell someone to leave an area or whatever and the person doesn't do it?

the department of homeland security is of the opinion (and presumably has lawyers willing to back up the view) that they CAN compel you to unlock your passcode protected device.

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2017/02/what-could-happen-if-you-refuse-to-unlock-your-phone-at-the-us-border/

we can have a whole conversation about whether you would win at the supreme court after several years of legal battling, but most of us would rather just get through customs as quickly as is reasonably possible. if unlocking a recently-wiped phone will circumvent
1) me getting detained
2) me having to hire a lawyer
3, 4, 5, 6, 7) various rounds of lawsuits, appeals, etc... leading to SCOTUS,
etc...

then i'm going to opt for that. you might call it cowardly. i call it "have fun blowing the next several years of your life and several hundred thousand dollars on a fight you might lose anyway because our bench is heavy on justices who implicitly trust law enforcement, especially at the border.

Shit happens, and whenever Barney Fife of Cousinfucker, WS does stupid shit like arresting some fucking loser cause one of his import mangas has a loli ad in it you hear about it on tv, that shit doesn't get upheld.

Some straight up pedo already faced this exact situation coming back from Canada. After a long series of legal actions it was finally determined by a federal judge cops can't make him tell them his fucking passwords.

Loli has gone on trail, it's been found to be protected speech.

Cops have raided tor nodes, it's been found unconstitutional.

The list goes on and on and on. Cops are not as powerful or as important as you stupid fucks think. You also seriously overestimate how much they give a flying fuck about you.

I legitimately don't have much to hide.

I don't fly internationally on a whim- it would be a big deal for me if I was rejected from a country.

I have a netbook I use exclusively for travel. The drive is zeroed out before every trip and a fresh XP install is done. I'll install Firefox, Flash, and maybe Gimp. It's used for internet access while I'm out and to make quick edits to pic I take.

I used to have OpenBSD 5.3 installed on it but that caused an issue once coming back into the US because I had it set up to boot to a cli and I would use startx to bring up the desktop after logging in.

Check out how this turned out in court every time it's been attempted. If there is absolutely any evidence that the files were deleted or encrypted before police got their hands on the device, you will be found guilty.

Even if you deleted it the day before, you will be in hot water.

Driving is cheaper than flying. It's been this way at least since the second great depression hit back in 07/08. Taking anything personal or electronic anywhere that's semi important is a bad idea. You have no real rights. Flip phone no contacts or even cheap smartphone if you have to fly and use a VPN to access anything remotely when you get where you're going when you land. Laptop wise there are plenty of ways to travel with it being stock and making it more usable once you're in a safer location. If the government or someone else steals your shit you can easily replace it.

to do that you have to use a bootup password, unless you also use some of these workarounds.

I was sentenced to prison for 5 years because they put spyware on my laptop, and a month later I was browsing 4chan with a thread autoupdating and someone posted cp

they were sending the hashed images in my browser cache to the FBI, and that particular Hash matched one in their child protection database and I was subsequently arrested.

I only served 2 years but Now I'm registered as a sex offender

what was the probable cause?
>>
>>59944729
downloaded Cheese pizza, it doesn't matter if it's unintentional

don't bring laptops through airports, just buy a new one

if they take your laptop into another room, you can be sure they've loaded it with spyware and keyloggers

>>59944696
stop lying on the internet, anon

or post proof

>>59944770
bruh if they don't have a reason to spy on you they can't collect evidence on you
either you're lying or your lawyer was shit
>>
>>59944825
It's legal to spy on everyone

I was wearing a mlp shirt at the airport so I think that's the probable cause for spying

>Keeping your shit on a USB will help you
If you are of interest to them they will confiscate every electronic you have down to the last HDMI cable. Your USB will be as suspect as your laptop. Did you think USA just runs random laptop examinations or something?
>>
>>59945631
Every country on the planet has the power to search your devices. It may rarely happen, but they certainly can do it if they want.
>>
>>59929767
>and if in the USA, also to your social media accounts
Sir, are you demanding that I breach the terms of service, a legal contract with Facebook, in which I agreed I wouldn't share my password with anyone?

>don't bring laptops through airports, just buy a new one
>if they take your laptop into another room, you can be sure they've loaded it with spyware and keyloggers

Who does this happen to?

They used to demand to see it power up and then wave me through as soon as the BIOS logo screen came up -- even for an international flight after 9/11. Now they just xray it and don't bother with turning it on at all.

Then again I cooperate and don't actively try to piss the TSA and customs guys off.

Have you flown anywhere before? Like out of your country, by yourself, as an adult and not an unaccompanied minor? They ask anyone and everyone who goes through customs. If they're going to search your bag and ask what your business in the country is, you bet your ass they'll ask to go through your electronics.
>>
>>59946299
No, they search through your bag and make sure your laptop isn't a bomb. Unless they specifically suspect you have something bad on your laptop or you make them hate you enough to make your life miserable, they simply don't have the time to check everyone's laptop beyond just xraying it and perhaps seeing that it actually turns on without blowing up.
>>
>>59929793
a giveaway you should note is that a border security agent works at the border to the usa
they have the authority to deny entry

if you dont comply it could well happen that you are not allowed to go any further. enjoy your stay in nowhere

>>59946655
They don't care about that shit. They're looking for the "My Child Porn" folder and documents like "how to built a bomb.txt", "ISIS guide to jihad.docx", etc.
>>
>>59946445
We aren't talking about getting on the plane, we are talking about customs.

The TSA are just doing the bomb checking as you described. If your devices get checked, it will be by a Law Enforcement Officer, not TSA. LEOs are a whole different animal.
>>
>>59946700
I'm talking about customs too. They have a lot of people going through every day as well. So long as you don't give them reason to suspect you have something interesting they won't look too closely.

If you have your laptop plastered with "I do not consent to this search" and "keep out" stickers, they might poke around a bit more. But if you look like a boring businessman carrying a boring work laptop in a boring laptop bag, they'll assume you're no different than the other thousand businessmen they process.

Of course you might get flagged for a random check, but that's not very likely.

Both my phone and laptop have removable batteries. I replace the good battery with a dummy battery. Neither device turns on.
>>
>>59946745
If you get pulled aside, you are there for the long haul. They will sit your ass down in a separate room for 4+ hours, they don't care.
>>
>>59946761
This makes them much more suspicious than if anything came up on the screen. They'll probably confiscate the extra batteries too since you're not allowed to take loose Li-ion batteries on the plane.

Congrats.
>>
>>59929767
Laptop: wipe clean before travel, only running barebones programs. Manually disable WiFi connection cable, can't do shit.
Phone: also wipe clean, but make a backup with all your apps and shit. On the way to the airport, delete all social media. Once you reach your destination, simply system restore and you're gold.

only thing I've been asked is if I'm bringing food in
"no" or "just some wine and chocolate"
they didn't give a shit and why should they? If you're suspicious enough to warrant "random" device checks then you have bigger problems than what's on your phone

Can someone explain the whole look at your laptop and social media thing?

I am from the US and I travel to Japan, Korea and China pretty often. I have need had anyone ask me about my latptop. Rarely do I even get asked about anything I am carrying, except for water when traveling back to the US.

Does the TSA ask for your passwords? Isn't that against the agreements for social media? Or do they just ask you to log in and they poke around?

it boots into W7 if unless u press f12 and select different hard drive. only set up this way because WIndows is a total heeb about restarting to update

i'd honestly be thrilled if the airpigs wanted a full tour of both operating systems on my laptop. I spent a lot of time personalizing and optimizing both. I'd be like, "wanna see my virtual machines too?" and they'd be like, "gtfo nerd"

Reset my devices to default without using passwords before going to the airport.

That way they get to go through them and I don't have worry about setting off some retard by not giving a password. Then just restore when I get home/to the hotel.

No need to get all confrontational.
