> Most "state-level" adversaries are just high school dropouts working border jobs told to "investigate suspicious things". The state-level threat isn't just about the direct employees' competence. They also have the funding to purchase tools made by people who really know what they are doing. Think of things like Pegasus spyware or Darksword iPhone hacking. I can believe that a keystone cop wouldn't know the difference between a bong and a flower vase, but border crossing guards will know a USB drive when they see one and pass a copy of it to someone who knows what they are doing. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

A copy of this USB drive would show nothing from the encrypted portion. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Pegasus spyware operations cost something like $500k a pop, last I checked. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
