travel & infosec 

ah, the time looms for the age-old question: do I really feel like wiping my phone before crossing the air border to Canada?

it’s such an obscene hassle, but...

@leafnoodle I personally carry a burner phone when traveling through international checkpoints. Here’s what I recommend: oukitelcentral.com/phone/oukit

Load it up with just the services you intend to use when traveling, set short cache policies, wipe and expire access as needed.

@leafnoodle As already mentioned in thread, only likely happen due to profiling, unlikely at US-CA border, but it helps with peace of mind.

@Goldkin I think I’d do that if this happened more often! I can certainly see the appeal of it.

@leafnoodle Yeah, for one-off, I wouldn’t worry about it too much.
