    For the last couple of years, we have traveled with burners and left our primary phones at home. Old phone models are surprisingly capable and cheap.

      I cut out the middle man and just switched to the old models permanently. I don’t need a smart phone, not f it’s spying on me.

        The main reason I didn’t go with this approach is because if they decide to take it, I’m out of a phone. If they take my cheap burner, it served its purpose.

        But, to wipe a computer, you have to delete, then write new information over it. Deleting just deletes the references or whatever to the information.

          If you’re using encryption you should be good.

            I would not be so sure about that now a days. I bet the government(s) have backdoors to a lot of this. You heard it here first ish. So when it comes out, I do require you to say, that asshole online was right.
