Since this thread is back in business, can we add this mini clueless rant:

> [@"Locking down your device when crossing borders" (AP article)](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/locking-down-your-device-when-crossing-borders-ap-article/1017868/32):
>
> How about this: completely turn your phone off. Stick it in a bag. Not your pocket.
> 
> Don’t say “oh, but my boarding pass”. Get a paper one.  
> I assume that’s still a choice.
> 
> Surely you can read that paperback long enough to get boarded.
> 
> What is wrong with people? This is not that hard.
> 
> Plus, maybe don’t take pix or talk about your criminal behavior. That is just stupid.
