Hi all,

I am travelling soon to the US, for my vocation and as a long-time private person I will be taking some steps to maintain my privacy as I enter the country.

As this is an interesting area of the topic, I have decided to throw the question open to all of you.

What precautions (IT, physical, mental, otherwise) do you undertake when travelling internationally?

M.

    Encrypted personal devices, and VPNs, mostly. It’s really difficult to maintain real privacy when travelling through customs, the best I can do is make sure my persisted data is safe, and my internet traffic is obfuscated.

    EDIT: I keep an encrypted USB pen drive with emergency information on it, should something happen to my phone or laptop, I can quickly get back off the ground.
