I’m traveling to the US mainland for the first time in my life in a few weeks.

I am not overly stressed about privacy, but I have read that US immigration can really overstep their boundaries. Are there any simple specific steps to take on my devices to protect my privace when going through US border control?

Remove my main accounts from my phone/tablet and use dummy accounts? Or just removing my biometrics?

    Don’t try to wipe your device in airport security. That is a very bad idea. Just walk though and don’t do anything that could be a threat. As it turns out the security people don’t want to waste time.
