I will be leaving next month.

I see TSA-approved locks.

I don’t want to alert trigger-happy guards or whatever.

I will delete all my third-party apps too.

I will also probably just reboot my tablet completely.

Same with my laptop.

Probably my phone too.

Saving my passwords somewhere else too.

I have some other ways to be private that I won’t reveal openly unless you want to DM, idk

But honestly, with this new cyclospora going around, I just want to survive the next three or four weeks.

What do you suggest?

    Sounds good. Be aware that much of what happens at the border to activists, journalists, etc. has been consistent for a long time, across administrations. It would be a good idea to research everything before returning, if you think that you could be a target for them.

      I imagine that there will be phases where it boils and then simmers here and there.

        Yes, I wouldn’t be surprised if it fluctuates a little over time with new policies, administrations, etc., but I think that one fundamental factor is that the people staffing border checks are cops that are focused on “defending the homeland” or somesuch.

          Yes, and the more people have a “change of heart,” the more of the ranks will be swelled with “true believer” MAGAts.
