Canada Border Services seizes lawyer's phone, laptop for not sharing passwords
Cases like these makes me want to take extreme precautions when traveling.I recently returned from a trip to the US, and prior to boarding (in any direction) i wiped my browser history, and logged out of iCloud, wiping all message history etc.
When i arrived at my destination i simply restored from the last iCloud backup, and things "magically" reappeared.Reading the comments here made me realize that it's much more than just personal emails/notes, but also things like Uber history, frequent locations, frequent calls, etc. Basically anything you do that has a pattern to it, or matches a list of keywords.As i don't see the need nor justification for any government to profile me in detail, I'm seriously considering doing a complete wipe of the phone for my next trip, setting it up as a basic _phone_ and restore a backup once i arrive. For a laptop i would probably set it up as new, and bring an installation media with me, reinstalling when i arrive.
