thegrugq recently had a post about travel kits https://twitter.com/thegrugq/status/829855684636274688

It's not just the US border, any border they can request you open up social media accounts or walk away with your laptop or phone and return it later filled with spyware. Business trips from here to China always involve buying a new phone and wiping/selling it on Craigslist after you return assuming it's been compromised.



Seems like a travel guide could be useful for journalists, I'd imagine most people don't even think about something like a travel kit.


> wiping/selling it on Craigslist after you return assuming it's been compromised.

Seems like if you assume a phone is compromised, it would be immoral to sell it to someone else without full disclosure of your concerns.
