Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

Tell them to fuck off.
Make sure your phone is already turned off before you go through.
Refuse to let them turn it on.
“I can’t remember my password”
Smile and be polite but make sure they hear the “fuck off nazi” in your tone.
DO NOT CONSENT TO A SEARCH.
I love the spirit of what you're saying, but per the attorney's advice in this article, they might seize your phone no matter what you say, password protection with no fingerprint or face scan unlock should ideally keep them out (note that law enforcement usually can take your picture or finger print you without needing a warrant or anything, but they can't force you to tell them a password), but you will probably never get that device back and you could be detained indefinitely while they try to intimidate you into waiving your 5th amendment silence rights.
I think your best strategies would be 1) just do not travel to the United States if it can at all be avoided; 2) if you must to travel to the US, don't bring any electronic devices capable of storing media with you, purchase new ones after you are past the border, securely download what you need, then erase and destroy those devices before leaving; 3) if purchasing throwaway devices isn't an option, just act as white as you possibly can and just hope you get lucky and they ignore you.
Act as white as possible lol
This 100% is a thing, and it helps. My wife isn't white but can turn it on and fool almost anyone. It has gotten her out of tickets, sticky situations, rude service industry etc.. it's hilarious to watch.
lol. I am white but I don’t know how to act white. Am I screwed ?
Act like you’re at a classic rock concert instead of punk rock, just turn the basic up to 11.
Turn the basic up to 11 lolllll. You nailed it
Mind. Blown. Thanks.
Nah your skin color automatically gives you a free pass
If I could only keep my mouth shut
Demand to speak to their manager!
I snorted and blew out snot at this comment. Good job.
Face scan unlock is NOT enough. When crossing the border turn OFF the phone. Don't just lock it, full off. The security protections from cellibrite attacks are much much much much stronger if it is off
Even so, off is better. Disk is unencrypted when on, leading to potential extraction. When off, there is more protection
It's important it's encrypted as well. Disk Encryption isn't a default on option typically.
If it's disk encrypted and the device is powered off, only a valid password (not biometric) will unencrypt it from off.
Edit: and a good device would encrypted it using a hardware module that will only work in that device for that hard drive, so they can't clone the drive out and try a bunch of easier pins as it'd be missing the hardware piece. Easier pins would only work if done on your phones hardware.
It'd be a device by device thing. Looks like Pixels do it be default, but I wouldn't assume all do. It'd be a setting if it's not default.
If you’re a US citizen they can only hold you for 48 hours without pressing charges. I no longer have faith that limit will be enforced, but it’s there in theory.
Didn't you hear? Due process is suspended indefinitely. /s (sorta)

Do you speak Spanish? You might need it in your next destination to communicate with your cellmates.
Don't do that. Be nice and respectful when you are asserting your rights. Nothing good comes from being an ass about it
