@mcnado My suggestion: when you upgrade your laptop or phone, try to keep your previous one. They're now burner devices for travel. Before visiting the USA, wipe them completely—restore to factory-clean state—then configure with only things you wouldn't mind the Gestapo rummaging through. Separate SIM in the phone, load only contact numbers you need for the trip. If you want to follow social media, create a new account and don't post content of your own through it.
@cstross @mcnado Also add cat pictures, lots of cat pictures. Don't forget #beaglefacts.
@cstross @mcnado and if they ask why there is very little on your phone. Tell them you are on a Digtial Detox.
@haakon @mcnado Naah: your old phone was stolen taking two decades of content with it and, heart-broken, you haven't even begun to reassemble your hoard. Oh woe! Oh woe! The thief changed my twitter and facebook passwords and locked me out permanently!
