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.

Yeah, that and actually taking decent pictures. If you just need a function, you can get non-flagship Android burners really cheap, or just keep a previous phone, wipe it, and travel with an eSIM.

My primary concern isn't so much what i'm saying now, but what they think about it later if we keep heading toward darker times.

Cheap phone + nice camera is another option. But with the downside of more to pack and carry around.

... yeah that feels entirely possible. Valid concern.

In the early 00's there were a few nice cameras with a 3x zoom that would fit in an altoids tin.

I think most of the current crop of micro cameras are toys :(
