#12If a border official hands you a tablet and asks you to login to Facebook, Amazon or even LastPass, are you required to do that?

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.
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?
"Talk to my lawyer."

#15Until you're detained for not having a phone to turn over. I'm only half joking.
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.
Where does one find an android phone for $5? I must be misunderstanding?

> "Is this your main phone?"
This is my main phone I use when crossing constitution-free zones.

That makes me livid: "Oh, sorry, the constitutional laws (that apply to us) don't apply here, see it's not technically the US because reasons." [lies to officer] "FELONY!".

"Is this the phone you use on a day to day basis"- felony if you lie.
Option 1: "No, I left my phone at home."
Option 2: If you're at the US border and a US citizen, "Sir, I'm an American citizen and just want want to get home" -- citizens can't be blocked from re-entering at the border.

Intelligence agencies aren't stupid. Evidence of attempts to thwart or subvert intelligence gathering is itself suspicious. If the feds seize what looks to them like a burner phone, that may be grounds for them to detain you without trial indefinitely; and may itself become a crime.

You're implying that people should behave in a manner that is a serious felony in the United States and likely other places.
