I’m traveling to the US mainland for the first time in my life in a few weeks.

I am not overly stressed about privacy, but I have read that US immigration can really overstep their boundaries. Are there any simple specific steps to take on my devices to protect my privace when going through US border control?

Remove my main accounts from my phone/tablet and use dummy accounts? Or just removing my biometrics?

    Yeah, and it’s fully legal for them to take any money you have and claim it’s related to drug money (even if you’re a citizen). You can always get it back if you fight for it but…

    Don’t bring things with you that you don’t want taken from you (unless you have to).

      Traveling with large sums of cash is kind of dumb anyway. Especially in this day and age. Worst case scenario you can just use crypto to move money around.
