Yes it’s real and have times and threat models ever changed

I’ll spell it out for you guys - CBP provides open free WiFi in the immigration line at the airport where the typical person with no mobile service is on a visa.

This is a very different consideration now in the era of wiping phones than three years ago.

@hacks4pancakes So even without MITM, they can work-out what your device has been accessing.

So if you say you don't use Twitter, they can catch on a lie and send you back.

What else?

@xconde undesirable pages and private messaging apps. VPN. News sites.
@hacks4pancakes this is borderline entrapment. Pun intended.
@xconde it was there before, but now…
@xconde @hacks4pancakes it's also in that legal no-persons land that is immigration, where human rights seem to cease to exist.
@xconde @hacks4pancakes know your email/drive/calendar/... providers so they know who to contact to get your info. And can say when and from what IP you did connect so they don't need your username and can discover covert accounts.

@hacks4pancakes It took me this post to realize that CBP meant Customs and Border Patrol rather than Citizens Bank Park.

(And how those two in contrast feel very uncomfortable.)

@hacks4pancakes I mean I wouldn’t be surprised if they started deploying stingrays too, just to make sure they capture everyone they can
@hacks4pancakes My guess is that this isn't intended for broad surreptitious surveillance (which would run into Title III problems), but rather to have a network available for when they tell you to unlock your phone and log in to your social media accounts.
@mattblaze @hacks4pancakes Need citizens going thru with flippers doing deauth attacks (even just dropping one under a trashcan or chair).
@mattblaze @hacks4pancakes
Probably also for when they ask you for the address of your hotel
@hacks4pancakes Throwback to that free phone charging courtesy of the NSA meme pic 😂 😬

@somebody @hacks4pancakes

"Free phone charging, from the NSA" is always a good one.

@hacks4pancakes they got that trick from the Israelis
