Travelers heading to the U.S. should be aware that border agents can search electronic devices without justification. A recent Canadian travel advisory emphasizes this risk, as demonstrated by a case involving a professor deported over a photo on her phone. To protect personal data, travelers are advised to limit device information, use temporary devices, and store sensitive data in encrypted cloud services. Encrypting devices and avoiding biometric locks can further enhance security against unwarranted searches at borders.
Travelers should be prepared for potential border scrutiny of their devices, especially entering the U.S., where agents can search without providing reasons.
To enhance device security while traveling, consider using temporary devices and encrypting sensitive data to safeguard your privacy at borders.
