Just don't travel to the US.

This is an increasingly popular solution. Foreign tourism has crashed.

I love the geography of the US, and it has some truly stunning places to visit.

But they're not so stunning that I need to risk my freedom - risk my freedom - to visit them in person.

This person is a US citizen. What happens if he just said nothing (beyond identifying and answering basic questions) and refused to cooperate? How long could they hold him? As a citizen they have to allow him to enter eventually.

According to the ACLU I think this person would have been better off saying little and not wiping their phone.

And they would have taken his phone, pulled it apart and cloned the memory to get the data. And in a month or three, returned his phone to him in some condition which may or may not include "working".

		Sounds like a better outcome to me. Plus, unless GrapheneOS gets encryption wrong (which I doubt), cloning the memory to get the data isn't really a thing.

This. If any country won't treat you like a guest, avoid travelling to it.

If it's your own, that's harder to do – time to fight and change the system before it gets worse and will swallow you whole.

I live in the U.S. (as, I think, does the person who is the subject of this article).

		The US have things like exit taxes etc which make it a pain to leave.
