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?

On Android for example, trim only runs every 24h, if the battery is above a certain charge level, and maybe some.other conditions. So it’s not entirely bulletproof either. Recent things can be recovered.
Definitely not bulletproof - but unless they’re after you specifically, and this is the only avenue remaining, the cost of attempting recovery and the risk of alerting you that they are in fact after you, when in the vast majority of circumstances it would yield very little, one would think there’d be cheaper ways to get your data directly from cloud providers or through other, more traditional methods.
Then again I could be naive about this.
