My first take is that it is terrible terrible opsec to talk about this sort of thing if you actually want to take it across a border or have any kind of "elevated" encounter with law enforcement or intelligence.

Like if they have good tools for profiling you from your posts they'll totally expect the OP to have some interesting hardware and stories to tell. Contrast that to just being some boring guy who has a cover story that happens to be true or the colorful character who doesn't really have anything to hide but who can keep spooks talking for hours.
