    Too bad phones aren't easy to do a full back up of, wipe, then restore after you are past the border agents. Or can keep all user data on a microSD card that you remove and secure before the search.

      For Apple at least, don't most users have ADP disabled, so the Gov has access to the data anyway?

      And quite a bit of backed-up data on Android is not E2EE encrypted
