Hi all,

I am travelling soon to the US, for my vocation and as a long-time private person I will be taking some steps to maintain my privacy as I enter the country.

As this is an interesting area of the topic, I have decided to throw the question open to all of you.

What precautions (IT, physical, mental, otherwise) do you undertake when travelling internationally?

M.

Last time I completely re-flashed my phone and only loaded it up with some “travel” accounts that were very basic. It was quite a lot of hassle, though.

This time I think I will just sign out of and delete any cloud services/accounts of concern (including my password safe) from the phone. I will sanitise it of anything I don’t want getting into anothers hands.

Once I am safely across the border I can re-download/install what I need.
