If I travel to the US next time to visit family, I’m thinking of getting a burner phone and also leave my iPad at home. It will be a boring flight but I don’t feel safe otherwise. Shit country.
You can just reset the iPad when your plane lands. Then you can restore it from backup once you are at your destination.
"Why did you reset your iPad? Were you hiding secret Antifa plans in it? Off to Guantanamo Bay!"
"Sorry, mate. Work policy. We deal with confidential patient information, so IT wipes everything on a schedule and we do everything on the cloud. There's never anything on the device."
„I thought you were here to visit family? HANG HIM!“
Right to jail. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiyfwZVAzGw
I've read this is what many companies are telling staff that have to travel as well.
It'll certainly be my plan if I ever end up going back someday
You can just buy second hand an aging android phone for this task, €50 gets you something usable for basic entertainment purposes.
