So I guess the solution to this is to backup your phone to someplace safe, wipe it, and then restore it when you get to your destination... WTF!

If I travel to the US next time to visit family, I’m thinking of getting a burner phone and also leave my iPad at home. It will be a boring flight but I don’t feel safe otherwise. Shit country.

You can just reset the iPad when your plane lands. Then you can restore it from backup once you are at your destination.

"Why did you reset your iPad? Were you hiding secret Antifa plans in it? Off to Guantanamo Bay!"
