in reply to evacide • • •As a Canadian citizen who has been searched many times crossing into the USA I would strongly recommend that no one print this and carry it with them while crossing the border. Having such a thing on you will very likely escalate a routine search.
The advice in the guide is good, but the suggestion to "carry it in your pocket while travelling", implying you have it while crossing into the USA is really bad advice for anyone who is not a US citizen (and maybe for them too).

I remember the Canadian "adopt an American" jokes from 2002, offering a spot to couch surf for the next four years.

in reply to Joe W • • •OK, denial is a fine temporary coping mechanism.

in reply to evacide • • •I'm not sure having the device powered down is a good idea. I was forced several times to open a laptop to show it's indeed a laptop. And when it'' locked, with a good password, I think high tech attacks would be very hard.
Also you blend in less with a laptop or phone off

in reply to evacide • • •I like how this guide basically just states: If you want to make sure that your devices are not taken away from you, while you're being arrested at the border, do not travel to the U.S.
And that is solid advice - don't!
(This isn't a Trump thing either, these laws have been in effect for decades at this point)
