    1. get a phone with a removable battery and wireless charging
    2. break the USB port
    3. pull out the battery before crossing the border

    sorry, my phone is dead and won’t hold a charge.

    • nothing untrue about that statement
    • state of the phone was a preexisting condition and cannot be used to apply obstruction charges

      I mean, sure, but then they seize the phone and still get all the data. In this case he wiped the data so it couldn’t be seized.
