    I am making the choice to not cross the border at all. If I was required to for some real reason, I would bring one of my old phones SECURELY wiped (as in, writing over all the old bits on the flash storage), with nothing but the absolute essentials installed and NO accounts.

    Is it schizo? Not anymore. They’re detaining everyone and deporting/disallowing you in the country for ANYTHING now. JD Vance memes will get you banned at this point.
