Based on this wording, it sounds like a team admin might be able to enforce travel mode such that the user can't disable it. >If you’re a team administrator, you have total control over which secrets your employees can travel with. You can turn Travel Mode on and off for your team members, so you can ensure that company information stays safe at all times. In which case, you as a user literally can't access the infor…
> If CBP ever starts requiring that you call a third party to retrieve confidential information What would they do, do you think, if said third party was a foreign citizen—of a country with no deportation treaty with the US—and upon getting the person you have in hand to call them (presumably under duress), they just said "I don't negotiate with hostile governments" and hung up?
>of a country with no deportation treaty with the US
I'm not sure what this means, afaik there's no such thing as a "deportation treaty" (perhaps you're thinking of extradition?). If you aren't a citizen, you can be deported, no treaty necessary. Furthermore, if you're at the border you're not even being deported, you're just being denied entry - you get to not pass customs at all and sleep in the airport lounge until you can secure a flight back to your home country, if the CBP decides to turn you away for any reason they choose. As a non-citizen outside the border, you really have no rights at all, and no recourse against any decision the CBP chooses to make.

Yep. Quite simply, the 0.1% of the US population here on HN does not care about privacy nor protesting nor writing to their local or state government. HN needs to stop living in a bubble. Only 1/3 of the US even bothered voting in the Trump v Clinton presidential election. I'll let you think about that for a moment. Now think about border searches. Has your phone been searched? Neither has mine. I'll go back to my co…
Where did you get the 1/3 from? It's been 55% of eligble voters. Counting non-eligibles wouldn't really make sense in your argument Source: https://www.google.de/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2016/11/11/polit...
If you really care about the issue, why abstain just because someone else doesn't want to count your vote?

#264Could we have something like time-delay passwords? Like the time-delayed vaults they (allegedly) have in banks? Then you could say: "Even if I agreed to give you my password, you wouldn't be able to unlock my device with it for another 24 hours".
Sure. If you want to sit in a holding cell for 24 hours.

#265The right solution to this problem is, when traveling, always answer "no" to "may I search your laptop?" It sucks, and it many mean a lot of hassle ranging from confiscated equipment to being held at the border to being refused entry, but this is just one of the new risks of travel. Border security only gets away with this because people say yes. Companies need to make clear to their employees (and the public) that s…
It's always Americans who can, at worst, get their laptops and phones seized that have this stupid ill-informed opinion.
If you enter the United States as a non-citizen and don't submit you will be denied entry for 5 years or life, still have your devices seized, and any visas or permanent residency can be cancelled. Possibly be jailed.

Ill tell the TSA no if you buy me a new laptop/phone when it happens.

It's OK. The NSA already has access to their data. No biggie.

That is the other half isn't it. How can one trust that non-security experts can safely store your passwords in clear text on a networked system when no one else can do it safely

The right solution to this problem is saner laws Considering the history of the civil rights movement in the US, we're not going to get saner laws without a little civil disobedience. It sucks to bear the brunt of this harassment, but saying "yes" only enables the system to harass everyone more efficiently.
I opted out for years and made fun of TSA agents during the pat down. It turns out you're not allowed to requests pat downs from specific agents. Who knew? ;) But now I don't even opt out. Instead I tell them that I can't raise my arms above my head. They direct me around the scanner (sometimes the metal detector too), swab my hands, and call it done. I often skip 10-15 people in the process. If they ask why, I tell…
After you leave make sure you don't accidentally do a "yes!" arm in the air gesture!
