       US CBP is now denying entry to people carrying a burner phone. If you have to visit the US, leave your phone at home, you can borrow one when you get here. Better yet don't come here until we sort things out.

       @tomjenningsMost phones are burner phones, difficult to repair when anything good wrong, only owned temporarily @jef

       @tomjennings @kevindalley What CBP objected to is a blank phone. As in you get a fresh phone to bring across the border and then set it up once you are past their checkpoint. Factory-reseting your usual phone before travel also works. CBP wants to snoop on your real phone to decide whether you're a "terrist".
