An Appeals Court panel has ruled that federal agents can legally search through travelers’ cell phones without reasonable suspicion, probable cause, or a warrant when they cross an international border.

I’ll never be traveling to the US again. Lots of better places for this Canadian to spend his money.

Just disable the biometric unlock features. The password method still requires a warrant.
What happens if you forget the password?
No. They cannot compel you to decrypt your disk with a warrant. Because they can’t prove that you remember the password.
Bad advice.
Encryption on a smart phone is much better.

So they can see everyone you call and hear your whole conversation?
Yeah, in many countries that metadata targets your for assassination. Better to not use a dumb phone with no encryption.
If you use a Sim card on a smart phone, you’re doing it wrong. Phone calls should be made (with e2ee) in Signal, Matrix, Wire, SimpleX, etc.
