So, honest question - even as a middle-class middle-aged white guy traveling domestically, I feel like it’s not safe to travel with anything important anymore. I can leave the computers at home so they don’t get smashed up by some power-crazed orangutans or what have you. But I’m going to need a cellphone. My thought was a cheap burner loaded with only the contacts I’ll need during the trip (no social media etc., I’ll just be offline until I get back).
Not hiding or smuggling anything, just trying to keep my own data and systems secure. If that’s ‘stupid, terrible, and dangerous’, then how should one go about maintaining security in a world where all major forms of transportation are manned by terrorists in government uniforms?
