#2The factory reset seems more practical to me than leaving your phone at home.

#3Until you're detained for not having a phone to turn over. I'm only half joking.

Also, carry multiple phones of the same model. I've been throwing my main phone anywhere besides in plain view and carrying a couple $5 Androids in my pockets instead when going thru TSA, better they try to search one of them than my main phone buried in my bag next to 2 others that look just like it.

I recommend having a few $5 Androids on ya, they are both fun to play with, handy, and will throw inquisitive 3 letter agencies for a loop.

"Is this the phone you use on a day to day basis"- felony if you lie.

Which will only make you more of a suspect, probably resulting in a deeper investigation or even being denied entry.

#8I have a prepaid plan that only works in the US anyway.
I never bring my US phone on international travel, because it just won't work. Instead, I carry a cheap Chinese GSM phone that's wiped before every trip and preloaded with some music and entertainment videos (TV Shows, etc.)
I buy the sim-card at my destination and throw it away when I go back to the States.
I'm not sure this solves anything, but then again, I don't work for a company that makes me required to be able to access sensitive data from any point in the world. YMMV.

Keep in mind that it's a felony to lie to a customs & border patrol officer. "Is this your main phone?" How will you answer that?
